from crompton scatttering we get that :


K=hfΔλλ+ΔλK=hf\frac{\Delta\lambda}{\lambda+\Delta\lambda}


K=hf2hmoc(λ+2hmoc)K=hf\dfrac{2h}{m_oc(\lambda+\frac{2h}{m_oc})}


K=2hfhfmoc(λf+2hfmoc)K=\dfrac{2hfhf}{m _oc(\lambda f+\frac{2hf}{m_oc})}


K=2hfhfmoc2(1+2hfmoc2)K=\dfrac{2hfhf}{m _oc^2(1+\frac{2hf}{m_oc^2})}


now lets substitute the vale of E and Eo

E=hf and Eo=moc2


K=2E2Eo(1+EEo)K=\dfrac{2E^2}{E_o(1+\frac{E}{E_o})}
