Formula and methodology
Formula: Δλ = h/(mec)(1−cosθ); scattered wavelength = initial wavelength+Δλ.
The electron Compton wavelength is multiplied by the angular factor before adding the shift to the entered wavelength.
This result follows the calculator's declared inputs, precision, validation boundaries, and model limits.
Input contract
- Initial photon wavelength — nm; minimum 1.0E-6; maximum 1000000000
- Photon scattering angle — °; minimum 0; maximum 180
Worked example
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Initial photon wavelength | 500 |
| Photon scattering angle | 90 |
Shift is approximately 2.426 pm; final wavelength ≈500.002426 nm.
Assumptions and limits
- Wavelength is positive and the scattering angle is between 0° and 180°.
- The target is a free electron initially at rest and the photon is treated relativistically.
- Binding effects, multiple scattering, detector response, and recoil direction are not modeled.
