Two starships, the Enterprise and the Constitution, are approaching each other head-on from a great distance. The separationbetween them is decreasing at a rate of 782.5 km>s. The Enterprisesends a laser signal toward the Constitution. If the Constitutionobserves a wavelength l = 670.3 nm, what wavelength was emitted by the Enterprise?
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.
