  1. Arthur Compton

    Arthur Holly Compton (September 10, 1892 - March 15, 1962) was an American physicist who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1927 for his 1923 discovery of the Compton effect, which demonstrated the particle nature of electromagnetic radiation.It was a sensational discovery at the time: the wave nature of light had been well-demonstrated, but the idea that light had both wave and particle ...

  2. Compton scattering

    Compton scattering (or the Compton effect) is the quantum theory of high frequency photons scattering following an interaction with a charged particle, usually an electron. Specifically, when the photon hits electrons, it releases loosely bound electrons from the outer valence shells of atoms or molecules. The effect was discovered in 1923 by ...

  3. A century of Compton scattering

    100 years ago, Arthur Compton measured a wavelength shift in an X-ray scattering experiment, which provided direct evidence for the particle theory of light. Today, Compton scattering continues to ...

  4. Compton Scattering

    Compton Scattering. Arthur H. Compton observed the scattering of x-rays from electrons in a carbon target and found scattered x-rays with a longer wavelength than those incident upon the target. The shift of the wavelength increased with scattering angle according to the Compton formula: Compton explained and modeled the data by assuming a ...

    Arthur Compton and the mysteries of light. For nearly 20 years, Einstein's quantum theory of light was disputed on the basis that light was a wave. In 1922 Compton's x-ray scattering experiment proved light's dual nature. In November 1922 Arthur Holly Compton sketched a diagram for his students at Washington University in St Louis, Missouri.

  9. Arthur H. Compton

    When Arthur Compton directed X-ray photons onto a metal surface in 1922, electrons were emancipated and the X-rays' wavelength increased because some of the incident photon energy was transferred to the electrons. The experiment confirmed that electromagnetic radiation could also be described as photon particles following the laws of mechanics.

From the left, a photon, or "incident quantum," collides with a stationary electron, which causes the pair to recoil and conserve momentum and energy. That was the first time Compton shared his breakthrough ...
