Question

Please answer the following question :
1. After being scattered by an electron, the wavelength of the x-ray changes in what way? Does that scattered x-ray gain or lose energy? Is this what classical electromagnetic theory predicts?

2. What would the shapes of the graphs be if the classical explanation was the correct explanation?

3. Examine the graph at the lower right. Are the deflected x-rays uniformly distributed over all the scattering angles? Does the shape of that distribution change for different incoming x-ray energies?
