An X-ray photon of wavelength 6 pm (1 pm = 10^-12 m
... An X-ray photon of wavelength 6 pm (1 pm = 10^-12 m) makes a head-on collision with an electron, so that the scattered photon goes in a direction opposite to that of the incident photon. The electron is initially at rest. (a) How much longer is the wavelength of the scattered photon than that of the ...

For a single particle, the interference is between the amplitudes of the particle’s wave function, whereas the interference between two particles is a direct result of quantum exchange statistics. Such int ...
