  1. Answer:

    Increases

    Explanation:

    In the Compton scattering experiment with x-rays,

    The change in operation

    [tex]\Delta \lambda = \frac{h}{m_oc} [1-cos\theta][/tex]

    Now rest being constant, as \theta increases, cos\theta decreases

    Hence, The change in wavelength will increase with the increase in \theta.

    Hence, wavelength increases with an increase in the angle of scatttering.
