Compton Scattering

Recommended Posts

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

How is this equation derived  (The energy of the target electron during Compton scattering)

You have posted this in homework help for some reason so you need to explain your thoughts or ask a moderator to move it somewhere more appropriate for someone to go through a full derivation with you.

 

I suggest you start with a diagram.
