Enter the energy at time interval one and the initial energy into the Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Kinematic Scattering Factor. 

Kinematic Scattering Factor Formula

KSF = E1/E0

Variables:

  • KSF is the Kinematic Scattering Factor ()
  • E1 is the energy at time interval 1
  • E0 is the initial energy

To calculate Kinematic Scattering Factor, divide the energy at the time interval by the initial energy.

How to Calculate the Kinematic Scattering Factor?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Kinematic Scattering Factor.


  1. First, determine the energy at time interval 1. 
  2. Next, determine the initial energy. 
  3. Next, gather the formula from above = KSF = E1/E0.
  4. Finally, calculate the Kinematic Scattering Factor.
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

energy at time interval 1 = 1.2345

initial energy = 1.67
