LIGHT + MATTER. “The photoelectric effect is the emission of electrons or other free carriers when light shines on a material.” https://lnkd.in/eDZvjevE View in LinkedIn

PHOTO ELECTRONS. “Electrons emitted in this way can be called photo electrons.” https://lnkd.in/eDZvjevE View in LinkedIn

THE PHOTOELECTRIC EFFECT has resulted, directly and indirectly, in the awards of 5 Nobel Prizes (Planck, Einstein, Millikan, Siegbahn), as well as striking open the heart if the quantum world. https://lnkd.in/eDZvjevE View in LinkedIn

“COMPTON scattering, the incident gamma ray photon is deflected by an orbital electron in the absorbing material. Part of the energy carried by the incident photon is transferred to the target electron in the atom, causing it to be ejected from the atom.In photoelectric process, an incident photon transfer its energy to an orbital electron, causing it to be ejected from the atom.” https://lnkd.in/e5yN52r4 View in LinkedIn

CONNECTIONS between the Compton effect and the photoelectric effect. A summary. https://lnkd.in/e5yN52r4 View in LinkedIn

SUMMARY. “Compton scattering is an inelastic scattering, in which scattered radiation has a longer wavelength than that of incident radiation. https://opentextbc.ca/universityphysicsv3openstax/chapter/the-compton-effect/#:~:text=The%20Compton%20effect%20is%20the,wavelength%20of%20the%20incident%20radiation View in LinkedIn

SUMMARY. “Treating the photon as a particle with momentum that can be transferred to an electron leads to a theoretical Compton shift that agrees with the wavelength shift measured in the experiment. This provides evidence that radiation consists of photons. https://opentextbc.ca/universityphysicsv3openstax/chapter/the-compton-effect/#:~:text=The%20Compton%20effect%20is%20the,wavelength%20of%20the%20incident%20radiation View in LinkedIn
