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.
Further support for the photon model of
X-ray diffraction can also change the direction of a beam of x rays. Which statement offers the best comparison between Compton scattering and x-ray diffraction?
A. X-ray diffraction changes the wavelength of x rays; Compton scattering does not.
B. Compton scattering changes the speed of x rays; x-ray diffraction does not.
C. X-ray diffraction relies on the particle nature of the x rays; Compton scattering relies on the wave nature.
D. X-ray diffraction relies on the wave nature of the x rays; Compton scattering relies on the particle nature.
