“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

Astonishing amateur photo series. “The space station is travelling at about 17,000 mph (27,300km). The space station was about 250 miles (400km) away when above his house.”" " https://lnkd.in/eEBUERV9 View in LinkedIn

SUMMARY. “The Compton effect is explained by assuming that radiation consists of photons that collide with weakly bound electrons in the target material. Both electron and photon are treated as relativistic particles. Conservation laws of the total energy and of momentum are obeyed in collisions.” https://opentextbc.ca/universityphysicsv3openstax/chapter/the-compton-effect/#:~:text=The%20Compton%20effect%20is%20the,wavelength%20of%20the%20incident%20radiation View in LinkedIn

SUMMARY. “In the Compton effect, X-rays scattered off some materials have different wavelengths than the wavelength of the incident X-rays. This phenomenon does not have a classical explanation.” https://opentextbc.ca/universityphysicsv3openstax/chapter/the-compton-effect/#:~:text=The%20Compton%20effect%20is%20the,wavelength%20of%20the%20incident%20radiation View in LinkedIn

INDUCTION OR DEDUCTION? “In Compton scattering, treating photons as particles with momenta that can be transferred to charged particles provides the theoretical background to explain the wavelength shifts measured in experiments; this is the 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

SPECIFICALLY. “In today’s usage, the term “Compton scattering” is used for the inelastic scattering of photons by free, charged particles.” https://opentextbc.ca/universityphysicsv3openstax/chapter/the-compton-effect/#:~:text=The%20Compton%20effect%20is%20the,wavelength%20of%20the%20incident%20radiation View in LinkedIn
