OBSERVATION. ‘One peak is located at the wavelength which is the wavelength of the incident beam. The other peak is located at some other wavelength, The two peaks are separated by which depends on the scattering angle of the outgoing beam (in the direction of observation). The separation is called the Compton shift.” https://opentextbc.ca/universityphysicsv3openstax/chapter/the-compton-effect/#:~:text=The%20Compton%20effect%20is%20the,wavelength%20of%20the%20incident%20radiation View in LinkedIn

FIGURE 2. “Typical results of these measurements are shown in (Figure), where the x-axis is the wavelength of the scattered X-rays and the y-axis is the intensity of the scattered X-rays, measured for different scattering angles (indicated on the graphs).” https://opentextbc.ca/universityphysicsv3openstax/chapter/the-compton-effect/#:~:text=The%20Compton%20effect%20is%20the,wavelength%20of%20the%20incident%20radiation View in LinkedIn

FIGURE 1. “Experimental data show the Compton effect for X-rays scattering off graphite at various angles: The intensity of the scattered beam has two peaks. One peak appears at the wavelength of the incident radiation and the second peak appears at wavelength.” https://opentextbc.ca/universityphysicsv3openstax/chapter/the-compton-effect/#:~:text=The%20Compton%20effect%20is%20the,wavelength%20of%20the%20incident%20radiation View in LinkedIn

PARADIGM SHIFT. “The explanation of the Compton effect gave a convincing argument to the physics community that electromagnetic waves can indeed behave like a stream of photons, which placed the concept of a photon on firm ground.” https://opentextbc.ca/universityphysicsv3openstax/chapter/the-compton-effect/#:~:text=The%20Compton%20effect%20is%20the,wavelength%20of%20the%20incident%20radiation View in LinkedIn

THE WAVE. “The Compton effect has a very important place in the history of physics because it shows that electromagnetic radiation cannot be explained as a purely wave phenomenon.” https://opentextbc.ca/universityphysicsv3openstax/chapter/the-compton-effect/#:~:text=The%20Compton%20effect%20is%20the,wavelength%20of%20the%20incident%20radiation View in LinkedIn

THE PHOTON. “To explain the shift in wavelengths measured in the experiment, Compton used Einstein’s idea of light as a particle.” https://opentextbc.ca/universityphysicsv3openstax/chapter/the-compton-effect/#:~:text=The%20Compton%20effect%20is%20the,wavelength%20of%20the%20incident%20radiation View in LinkedIn

EXAMPLE. “Recrystallization is the change process of micritic dolomite (calcite) to crystalline dolomite (calcite). It is caused by thermodynamics and dynamics, leading to the crystal form change of dolomite (calcite) and coarser crystals.” https://lnkd.in/ebKRGBrE View in LinkedIn

BATHED IN PHOTONS. “Radio waves, gamma-rays, visible light, and all the other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum are electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic radiation can be described in terms of a stream of mass-less particles, called photons, each traveling in a wave-like pattern at the speed of light.” https://imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov/science/toolbox/emspectrum1.html#:~:text=Radio%20waves%2C%20gamma%2Drays%2C,at%20the%20speed%20of%20light View in LinkedIn

VAST SCALES. “Mineral sheet aqueous recrystallization chemistry on geologic scales. Recrystallization and neomorphism are processes that transform minerals in situ into different forms of themselves, or a polymorph.” https://lnkd.in/e6CSiwCj View in LinkedIn
