Question

Discuss Compton Effect

Answer 1

Compton Scaterring

Answer 2

EM radiation acts as a particle with momentum.
Photon collides with an orbiting election and there is a transfer of momentum and energy from the photon to the electron.
After collision the photon has a longer wavelength and small frequency than before the collision.
The photon changes direction in accordance with a theory which treats the electron-photon as billiard ball dynamics.
