E2 activity: Compton scattering
If light sometimes acts like a particle, does that mean it has momentum? How can this help us understand the interaction between X-Rays and electrons? The effect In the photoelectric effect, you have seen that there are some phenomena in which light behaves as a particle. And, in Unit C – for example, in two-slit interference – you have seen phenomena in which behaves as a wave. This contradiction might seem...
