Answer 2

I know that Compton shift is equal to Compton wavelength at theta = 90 degrees . Dunno when it is Maximum ???

Answer 3

@RANE Can ya explain it a bit ?? it help me to understand how ???

Answer 4

ok, i haven't done this, this yr yet
we just went over its surface last yr

but hold on

Answer 5

ok :)

"The Compton wavelength is the amount by which the photon's wavelength changes when it scatters at 90°. The change in wavelegth is smaller if the scattering angle is less than 90°, and is a maximum of twice the Compton wavelength if the photon scatters by 180° (scatters backwards). Since the Compton wavelength is small, the change in wavelength is only perceptible for photons of small wavelength, say less than about 0.1nm, corresponding to x-rays." I have not idea about photons, but this is how i assumed it, first i thought it was 180 but until i did a little research, i found this, so i thought 90 might be the answer

thats all i remember abt it

Answer 7

thank ya so much @RANE ^_^
