I suppose that by "relevator" you mean "revelator" for which I think the proper English term is "detector"?Cozma Alex said:

The Compton effect, also known as Compton scattering, is a phenomenon in which a photon (particle of light) collides with an electron, causing the photon to lose energy and change its direction, while the electron gains energy and is ejected from its original atom.
The intensity of the incident light does not affect the Compton effect. The only factors that affect the Compton effect are the energy and angle of the incident photon, and the atomic structure of the material it is interacting with.
The intensity of the scattered light is directly proportional to the intensity of the incident light. This means that if the intensity of the incident light is doubled, the intensity of the scattered light will also double.
The Compton effect is a clear demonstration of the particle nature of light. It shows that photons, which are traditionally thought of as waves, can also behave like particles when they interact with matter.
The Compton effect has several practical applications, including medical imaging techniques such as Computed Tomography (CT) scans, X-ray diffraction for studying the structure of crystals, and gamma-ray astronomy for studying high-energy sources in space.
