In the direct Compt effect, the photot gives up part of its energy to the electron at rest. In the reverse Compton effect, a photon receives part of its energy from a moving electron. Estimate the energy of the photon emitted as a result of the inverse Compton effect during a head-on collision of an optical photon. (λ=0.63 μm) with an electron having a kinetic energy of 500 MeV. The photon moves along the electron's trajectory.
