effet Compton
diffusion élastique lorsqu'on considère un électron libre, mais diffusion inélastique pour un électron lié
AI overview
The Compton effect is what happens when light particles called photons bounce off electrons in an atom, similar to how a ball might bounce off another object. This discovery was important because it showed that light behaves like particles with specific energy and momentum, which helped scientists understand the true nature of light.
