Problem

Without performing any calculations, compare the magnitude of the wavelength change experienced by a photon scattered through an angle of 90∘90^{\circ} with that for a photon scattered through 30∘30^{\circ}. State which scattering angle produces the larger wavelength increase and briefly justify your answer.
