  • Compton Scattering

    Compton scattering is a fundamental process in quantum mechanics that describes how photons and electrons interact with each other. Discovered by Arthur Holly Compton in 1923, Compton scattering provided strong evidence for the particle nature of light and was a crucial component in understanding the behavior of radiation. Compton scattering occurs when a photon collides…
