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

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

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

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

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

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. “Treating the photon as a particle with momentum that can be transferred to an electron leads to a theoretical Compton shift that agrees with the wavelength shift measured in the experiment. This provides 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
