You used a 632nm laser to diffract images onto a wall 2 meters away using two separate diffraction gratings; one with 100 lines per mm and the other 300 line per mm. Is there a theoretical limit to the number of orders observable with your diffraction gratings? If not, explain why. If so, determine the limits for your grating.
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.
