GLOBAL COLLISION. “Photons that collide with the inner electrons of the target atoms in fact collide with the entire atom. In this extreme case, the rest mass in (Figure 2) must be changed to the rest mass of the atom.” https://opentextbc.ca/universityphysicsv3openstax/chapter/the-compton-effect/#:~:text=The%20Compton%20effect%20is%20the,wavelength%20of%20the%20incident%20radiation View in LinkedIn

TWO PEAKS. “The nonshifted peak shown in (Figure 1) is due to photon collisions with tightly bound inner electrons in the target material.” https://opentextbc.ca/universityphysicsv3openstax/chapter/the-compton-effect/#:~:text=The%20Compton%20effect%20is%20the,wavelength%20of%20the%20incident%20radiation View in LinkedIn

VALIDATION. “Scattering data measured for molybdenum, graphite, calcite, and many other target materials are in accord with this theoretical result.” https://opentextbc.ca/universityphysicsv3openstax/chapter/the-compton-effect/#:~:text=The%20Compton%20effect%20is%20the,wavelength%20of%20the%20incident%20radiation View in LinkedIn

QED. “This formula for the Compton shift describes outstandingly well the experimental results.” https://opentextbc.ca/universityphysicsv3openstax/chapter/the-compton-effect/#:~:text=The%20Compton%20effect%20is%20the,wavelength%20of%20the%20incident%20radiation View in LinkedIn

LANGUAGE OF MATHS. “The entire physics of Compton scattering is contained in these three preceding equations––the remaining part is algebra.” https://opentextbc.ca/universityphysicsv3openstax/chapter/the-compton-effect/#:~:text=The%20Compton%20effect%20is%20the,wavelength%20of%20the%20incident%20radiation View in LinkedIn

ISOLATED SYSTEM. “This assumption is valid for weakly bound electrons that, to a good approximation, can be treated as free particles.” https://opentextbc.ca/universityphysicsv3openstax/chapter/the-compton-effect/#:~:text=The%20Compton%20effect%20is%20the,wavelength%20of%20the%20incident%20radiation View in LinkedIn

PRESUMPTION. “Following Compton’s argument, we assume that the colliding photon and electron form an isolated system.” https://opentextbc.ca/universityphysicsv3openstax/chapter/the-compton-effect/#:~:text=The%20Compton%20effect%20is%20the,wavelength%20of%20the%20incident%20radiation View in LinkedIn
