APFIVE Photon Momentum in Compton Scattering
A photon with a wavelength of 0.005 nm undergoes Compton scattering with an electron initially at rest. If the scattered photon has a wavelength of 0.007 nm, what is the magnitude of the change in momentum of the photon?

B
9.5 × 10^-23 kg·m/s
C
3.8 × 10^-23 kg·m/s
D
-5.7 × 10^-23 kg·m/s
