timo Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 The equation is not particular to Compton scattering. It is the relation between momentum and energy for any free particle (including, in this case, electrons). I am not sure what you consider a derivation or what you skill level is. But maybe this Wikipedia article, or at least the article name, is a good starting point for you: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy–momentum_relation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest you start with a diagram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordred Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 (edited) Is this homework in your other thread you mentioned your a teacher correct? Edited August 9, 2019 by Mordred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
