Problem

a. A γ\gamma-quantum of electromagnetic radiation of frequency ν\nu, colliding with a stationary particle, began to move at an angle θ\theta to the original direction. In this case, the quantum frequency decreased by ∆ν\nu ≪\ll ν\nu. Determine the mass of this particle. b. A photon of frequency ν\nu, colliding with a stationary electron, begins to move at an angle θ\theta to the original direction. Determine the change in photon frequency if hν\nu ≪\ll m c2. e
