Problem

A photon of wavelength 0.070 nm0.070\,\text{nm} is scattered from a free electron initially at rest. After the collision its wavelength is measured to be 0.072 nm0.072\,\text{nm}. Given that the electron Compton wavelength is 2.43 pm2.43\,\text{pm}, determine the scattering angle of the photon (in degrees).
