Assuming that the equation

Question

Ephoton, final =
Ephoton, initial/1 + Ephoton, initial/mec2
(1 − cos θ)
can be approximately applied at all scattering angles θ, what is the minimum energy of a scattered X-ray photon if the incident X-ray energy is 76 keV? What is the largest possible energy of a scattered X-ray emitted at a scattering angle of 90°?
