The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the interaction between the X-ray photon and the stationary electron using the principles of conservation of energy and momentum. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Initial Conditions**: - Let the initial wavelength of the X-ray photon be \( \lambda \) and its frequency be \( v \). - The initial energy of the photon can be expressed as: \[ E_{\text{initial}} = h \cdot v \] - The electron is initially stationary, so its initial kinetic energy is zero. 2. **Understand the Collision**: - When the photon collides with the electron, it transfers some energy to the electron, causing it to move. - After the collision, let the wavelength of the scattered photon be \( \lambda' \) and its frequency be \( v' \). 3. **Apply Conservation of Energy**: - The total energy before the collision must equal the total energy after the collision: \[ E_{\text{initial}} = E_{\text{final}} \] - Therefore, we have: \[ h \cdot v = h \cdot v' + \frac{1}{2} m v_e^2 \] - Here, \( v_e \) is the velocity of the electron after the collision. 4. **Relate Wavelength and Frequency**: - The relationship between wavelength and frequency is given by: \[ v = \frac{c}{\lambda} \] - Thus, for the scattered photon: \[ v' = \frac{c}{\lambda'} \] 5. **Substituting Frequencies**: - Substitute \( v \) and \( v' \) into the energy conservation equation: \[ h \cdot \frac{c}{\lambda} = h \cdot \frac{c}{\lambda'} + \frac{1}{2} m v_e^2 \] 6. **Analyzing the Energy Loss**: - Since the photon transfers energy to the electron, the energy of the photon after the collision must be less than before: \[ h \cdot v' < h \cdot v \] - This implies: \[ v' < v \] 7. **Relating Wavelengths**: - Since frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength, if \( v' < v \), then: \[ \lambda' > \lambda \] - Thus, the final wavelength of the scattered photon is greater than the initial wavelength. 8. **Conclusion**: - The relationship we derived is: \[ \lambda' > \lambda \] - Therefore, the correct option is that the wavelength of the scattered photon is greater than the initial wavelength. ### Final Answer: The relationship is \( \lambda' > \lambda \).
