At a wavelength 692 nm, the ordinary and extra-ordinary refractive indices in a uniaxial crystal are 1.558 and 1.611, respectively. If we make a thin disk of the material, with the optical axis parallel to the plane of the disk, what thickness of disk (in microns) would make a true zero-order quarter-wave plate?
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.
