Questions and Answers

What is the Compton effect defined as?

Complete absorption of x-rays or gamma rays when scattered on a material

Increase in wavelength of x-rays or gamma rays when scattered on a material (correct)

Decrease in wavelength of x-rays or gamma rays when scattered on a material

No change in wavelength of x-rays or gamma rays when scattered on a material

What is the factor 'm0' in the mathematical form of the Compton effect?

Rest mass of an electron (correct)

Speed of light

Planck's constant

Angle at which radiation is scattered

What does Compton's study reveal about the wavelength in the Compton effect?

Wavelength is independent of the angle of scattering and the wavelength of the incident beam

Wavelength is dependent on the angle of scattering and the wavelength of the incident beam (correct)

Wavelength is dependent only on the intensity of incident radiation

Wavelength is dependent on the intensity of incident radiation

Study Notes

Compton Effect

The Compton effect is the phenomenon where the wavelength of light increases after it scatters off free electrons.

Mathematical Form

The mathematical form of the Compton effect includes the factor 'm0', which represents the rest mass of an electron.

Wavelength Shift

Compton's study reveals that the wavelength of light increases after scattering, with a corresponding decrease in frequency.
This shift in wavelength is indicative of a transfer of energy and momentum from the incident photon to the scattering electron.
