Compton scattering results from photons colliding with electrons. In these reactions the photon loses momemntum thus its wavelength increases.
lambda post collision - lambda original = [h/ (mass of electron x c)] [1-cos(theta between ooriginal direction and final direction of photon)]. This angle is usually called phi but not in your text.
