COMPTON’S
EFFECT
When
a beam of monochromatic X-Ray is made on a block of graphite and measured the
wavelength of the scattered radiation at different scattering angles the
scattered x-ray beam consist of two wavelength are with the same wavelength as
that of the incident beams and was called unmodified radiation while the other
with slightly higher wavelength which is known as modified radiation. This
phenomenon known as Compton Effect and the change in wavelength is known as
Compton Shift.
Let
X-Ray photon collide with an electron at rest at 0. After collision they move
in the direction as incident.
Before Collision
(While electron is at rest)
After Collision
(While electron moves with velocity)
Laws of Conservation
Applying
the principle of conservation of momentum along the direction of incidence
Applying
the principle of conservation of momentum along the direction of incidence
Its very interesing method which is very clear and easy to understand. Bravos.
