Answer

$41.4pm; 4.80fJ$

Work Step by Step

We can find the required wavelength and energy as follows: $\lambda_f=\lambda_i+10\% \space of \lambda_i$ $\lambda_f=\lambda_i+0.1\lambda_i=1.1\lambda_i$ Now $1.1\lambda_i-\lambda_i=\frac{h}{m_ec}(1-cos135^{\circ})$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $0.1\lambda_1=2.43\times 10^{-12}m(1-cos135^{\circ})$ This simplifies to: $\lambda_i=\frac{2.43\times 10^{-12}m(1-cos135^{\circ})}{0.1}$ $\lambda_i=41.4\times 10^{-12}m=41.4pm$ Now $E=\frac{hc}{\lambda_i}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $E=\frac{(6.63\times 10^{-34}J.s)(3\times 10^8m/s)}{41.8\times 10^{-12}m}$ $E=4.8\times 10^{-14}J=4.8fJ$
