A third-order diffraction maximum is observed when a 0.862 Å X-ray beam is diffracted by the planes (111) of a copper crystal. The incident and diffracted beams form angles of 38.26° with the planes. Find the distance between adjacent (111) planes.
Compton effect
The incoming photons' energy must be in the range of an X-ray frequency to generate the Compton effect. The electron does not lose enough energy that reduces the wavelength of scattered photons towards the visible spectrum. As a result, with visible lights, the Compton effect is missing.
Recoil Velocity
The amount of backward thrust or force experienced by a person when he/she shoots a gun in the forward direction is called recoil velocity. This phenomenon always follows the law of conservation of linear momentum.
