    Referring to Compton scattering

    Δλ = h/m₀c (I - cos Ф)

    λ' = λ = (0,0242*10⁻¹⁰) (1 - cos 60°)

    λ = λ' - (0.0242 * 10⁻¹⁰) (1 - cos 60°)

    7.19 ˣ 10⁻¹²m

    The increased potential is given by

    Vₐc = hc/eλ = 6.625 * 10 ⁻³⁴ J, s) (3 * 10⁸ m/s (1.6 ˣ 10 ⁻¹⁰C)

    (7.19 ˣ 10⁻¹²m)

    173kV.
