Homework Statement
I need to derive the Compton scattering formula using Newtonian mechanics, I have it done in relativistic mechanics but can't get the Newtonian version.
Homework Equations
the solution to the relativistic equation is
1=mc^2(1/E2-1/E1)+cos(theta)
for Newtonian mechanics:
1=mc^2(1/E2-1/E1)+cos(theta)-(E1-E2)^2/2E1E2
The Attempt at a Solution
i have no idea where to get started for the Newtonian solution
