Explanation The Bragg’s diffraction law gives the diffraction of rays by some angles of coherent and incoherent scattering from crystal lattice 2 d sin θ = n λ Here, d is the inter atomic distance between crystalline planes. n is the order of diffraction pattern. θ is the diffraction angle. λ is the wavelength of the light used. There is a condition of this law occurs, when diffraction by the crystals with a wavelength is comparable to atomic spacing

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.
