Explanation The light is emitted only when an electron jumps from a higher state to lower energy (state), a single photon is emitted in a transition whose energy and momentum are taken away. Most of the energy goes into the photon, but not all of it, because of conservation of momentum...

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 ligh…

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.
