scattering Compton

fenomeno di scattering tra fotone ed elettrone

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.

La diffusione Compton (o effetto Compton, Compton scattering) è un fenomeno di scattering interpretabile come un urto tra un fotone (inteso come particella) e un elettrone. Il fenomeno, osservato per la prima volta da Arthur Compton nel 1922, divenne ben presto uno dei risultati sperimentali decisivi in favore della descrizione quantistica della radiazione elettromagnetica.
