The Compton Effect, also known as the Compton Scattering, is a phenomenon in which the wavelength of a photon changes after it interacts with a charged particle, such as an electron.
The Compton Effect can be explained using mathematical equations, specifically through the use of Einstein's theory of relativity and the conservation of energy and momentum.
The Compton Effect provides evidence for the particle-like behavior of photons and helps us understand the interactions between light and matter.
In the Compton Effect, a high-energy photon collides with an electron, resulting in the production of a lower-energy photon and an ejected electron. This process is known as photon production.
The Compton Effect has practical applications in fields such as medical imaging, where it is used to produce x-ray images, and in astrophysics, where it helps us understand the interactions of high-energy photons in outer space.
