Lesson 17 * 25-3 Photons and the Compton Effect In 1916 Einstein extended his photon concept: like energy, momentum is transferred in discrete amount. The magnitude of the momentum p of a photon associated with a wave frequency f : photon momentum Photon energy E = hf In 1923, Arthur Compton proved Einstein’s view. E = hf = mc2 p = mc=hf/c Compton’ s apparatus The detector measures both the intensity of scattered x rays and their wavelengths. Carbon target Collimating slits X-ray tube Incident x rays Scattered x rays Detector The 1927 Nobel Prize Discovery of wavelength change in diffu
