I understand that according to the photoelectric effect, the photons are apparently 'absorbed' by the electron if it is of the right energy i.e an all or nothing process. But in the Compton effect, the photon scatters off the electron with a change in wavelength? I am trying to get my head over the meaning of that, it does not make much sense. Anyone care to shed some light on it?
