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.
Visible light is emitted from a collection of hydrogen atoms. This light then strikes a material with a work function of 1.38 eV. What is the maximum speed of the most energetic photo-electron that is liberated from the material? Round this to the nearest 1000 m/s and assume only wavelengths in the visible spectrum of Hydrogen.
