Compton effect :
When high frequency radiation are scattered by electrons of the scattered, the frequency of the scattered wave is
smaller than the frequency of incident radiation. This phenomenon is called Compton effect.
Arthur Compton in 1923 explained this effect by considering the particle name of electromagnetic wave.
The change in wavelength of high energy radiation always scattering process is called Compton shift and it is
given by
Where,
λ = wavelength of incident radiation
λ` = Wavelength of scattered radiation
m° = rest mass of electron
θ = the angle at which radiation scattered
c = velocity of light
Before collision After collision
2/ momentum of 2/momentum of
incident Photon=hυ/c scattered photon=hυ`/c
Let us consider that a photon collides with an electron at rest.Let the energy of the photon before collision be hυ. So, it’s momentum before
collision is hυ/c, where C is the velocity of light. Let the energy of the scattered photon be hυ` and hence it’s momentum is hυ`/C.
Is mc^2.
