  • Compton scattering is the effect of photons of rays scattering electrons, and provided evidence for the. particle nature of light. This video covers an explanation and the mathematical relationship that Arthur Compton derived by assuming a quantum nature and conservations laws.

    I don't know if there is anyone better at explaining physics like you sir.

    This video was of great help for my physics students, but unfortunately you got the last graph wrong, which caused a lot of confusion. The maximum has to be at pi and it is not the compton wavelength (which is at pi/2).
    Besides that, it's the most compact explanation of compton scattering i ever saw, so: Great work! Thanks!

    Very nice explanation, couldn't understood what Compton did from his paper and other videous. Big thanks!

    Really excellent tutorial, thanks! It's remarkable how classical physics (momentum, conservation laws) is embraced by the quantum machinists to explain this phenomenon but is set aside when it is inconvenient e.g. electrons emitting EM radiation.

    Great stuff ... but the last graph should look differently as delta lambda is max at pi rad. Your graph has a maximum at pi/2, which is the Compton wavelength!

    Hi..so I have some questions
    1. What is the maximum angle of recoil for the electron?
    2. In my text book it is said unmodified line occures due to bound electrons and the whole atom recoils...but photoelectric effect is also due to bound electron. What is the difference
    Thanks for the video..have a good day🤗

    At pi its 2 times the compton wavelength

    Sir , I have a question , Compton wanted to find out the change in the wavelength of the photon then why did he involved the mass of the electron in his equations ?? Was that due to the law of conservation of energy?? Please explain me sir

    • @PhysicsHigh
      @PhysicsHigh  4 роки тому

      Yes. It’s law of conservation of energy.
