6. The Compton Effect (Compton Scattering)

The electron is irradiated with a photon.
The Scattered Photon comes off as Radiation.

7. The Compton Effect (Compton Scattering)
This lends support to Einstein's photon theory, rather than wave theory.
Compton Scattering was first demonstrated in 1923 by Arthur Holly Compton.
Scattered radiation experiences a wavelength shift. X-rays increase in wavelength when scattered.

8. How does the wave for the incident photon compare to that of the scattered photon?

9. Compton Shift: (write on Back)
Is the change in wavelength of scattered photon
λ = incoming photon wavelength
λ' = scattered photon wavelength

19. Where does the electron get the energy to start moving?
Guided Notesheet
Lets start by looking at the motion of the electron:
When is the electron moving:
Before the collision?
After Collision?
The electron starts out as Stationary
After the collision it’s moving
Where does the electron get the energy to start moving?
The collision with the photon!

20. The electron gains energy from it’s collision with the photon.
Conservation
The electron gains energy from it’s collision with the photon.
Is that energy created from nothing? Where does it come from?
The photon gives the electron some energy.

21. Incident Photon
has energy E and linear momentum p:

22. Scattered Photon
has energy E :

23. Total energy and momentum must be conserved.
The Compton Effect
The photon gives part of its energy to one of the electrons, in the form of KE
Total energy and momentum must be conserved.

24. Loss in photon energy = gain in electron energy
KEelectron = Eincident photon – Escattered photon
