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

REASON. “According to classical electromagnetic theory, this effect can be ascribed to the transfer of energy from the light to an electron. From this perspective, a change in the intensity of light would induce changes in the kinetic energy of the electrons emitted from the material.” https://lnkd.in/eDZvjevE View in LinkedIn

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

Rethinking the amount of summer confetti, I am inclined to think that there is a large degree of heat stress contributing new leaves to the litter. View in LinkedIn

VARIABLE SOLUTES. “Rainwater has a complex chemical composition that varies from place to place, as well as from shower to shower and season to season in the same place. Rainwater contains some constituents of local origin, and some that have been transported by winds from elsewhere.” https://lnkd.in/ete8CApd View in LinkedIn

“WEATHERING rocks, and their redistribution by plants and animals. It is probable that the pH of rainwater, as well as the amount of rain and its contained cations and anions, has an important influence on the weathering of minerals and rocks in any locality.” https://lnkd.in/ete8CApd View in LinkedIn

VAST PH RANGES. “The pH of rainwater in any area varies considerably and seems to form a seasonal and regional pattern. The recorded pH values range from 3.0 to 9.8.” https://lnkd.in/ete8CApd View in LinkedIn
