Problem
An experimenter plots the measured wavelength shift Δλ of scattered X-ray photons against the quantity (1−cosθ). The best-fit line has a noticeably steeper slope than the accepted theoretical value. Describe what this implies about the experimenter’s calculated value of Planck’s constant relative to the accepted value.
