Compton Shift Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Compton Shift?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

Δλ atom = λ s - λ i

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

Δλ atom = 100Compton Wavelength - 71Compton Wavelength

Next Step Convert Units

∴

Δλ atom = 2.4E-10m - 1.7E-10m

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

Δλ atom = 2.4E-10 - 1.7E-10

Next Step Evaluate

∴

Δλ atom = 7.0363006819998E-11m

Next Step Convert to Output's Unit

∴

Δλ atom = 28.9999999999998Compton Wavelength

LAST Step Rounding Answer

∴

Δλ atom = 29Compton Wavelength
