In the Compton scattering experiment shown in the figure, a monochromatic beam of X-rays strikes a target containing free electrons. Scattered X-rays are detected with a wavelength of 2.50 × 10–12 m at an angle of 45° away from the original beam direction. What is the wavelength of the incident monochromatic X-rays? Note: The mass of an electron is 9.11 × 10–31 kg.
