ROOP Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 why xray is used in compton effect rather than uv ray? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timo Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Probably got to do with the energies involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansont Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 You get compton scattering for a free electron because the electron can't absorb the photon — energy and momentum can't both be conserved. So for a bound electron, for which photon will it "look" more like a free electron? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
