In regard to the Compton scattering experiment with x-rays incident upon a carbon block,as the scattering angle becomes larger,what happens to the magnitude of difference between the incident and scattered wavelengths?
A)increases
B)decreases
C)remains constant
D)difference is maximum at a 45 $\degree$ angle of scatter

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As the scattering angle becomes larger, the magnitude of the difference between the incident and scattered wavelengths increases. This is known as the Compton shift or Compton effect, where the scattered photon loses energy, resulting in a longer wavelength. Therefore, choice A is the correct answer.
