Calculate wavelength shift and energy transfer in Compton scattering

Scattering Angle (degrees):

Initial Photon Wavelength (pm) - Optional:

Initial Photon Energy (keV) - Alternative:

Wavelength Shift: delta_lambda = (h/m_e*c) * (1 - cos(theta))

lambda' = lambda + delta_lambda

Electron Compton wavelength: h/(m_e*c) = 2.426 pm
