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

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
