NONSHIFTED PEAK. “This type of shift is four orders of magnitude smaller than the shift caused by collisions with electrons and is so small that it can be neglected.” https://opentextbc.ca/universityphysicsv3openstax/chapter/the-compton-effect/#:~:text=The%20Compton%20effect%20is%20the,wavelength%20of%20the%20incident%20radiation View in LinkedIn

EXPLANANDS. “Compton assumed that the incident X-ray radiation is a stream of photons. An incoming photon in this stream collides with a valence electron in the graphite target. In the course of this collision, the incoming photon transfers some part of its energy and momentum to the target electron and leaves the scene as a scattered photon.” https://opentextbc.ca/universityphysicsv3openstax/chapter/the-compton-effect/#:~:text=The%20Compton%20effect%20is%20the,wavelength%20of%20the%20incident%20radiation View in LinkedIn

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
