Compton effect
The incoming photons' energy must be in the range of an X-ray frequency to generate the Compton effect. The electron does not lose enough energy that reduces the wavelength of scattered photons towards the visible spectrum. As a result, with visible lights, the Compton effect is missing.
Recoil Velocity
The amount of backward thrust or force experienced by a person when he/she shoots a gun in the forward direction is called recoil velocity. This phenomenon always follows the law of conservation of linear momentum.
Show by calculation that the frequency of an X-ray is higher than the frequency of a microwave.
To show that the frequency of an X-ray is higher than the frequency of a microwave, we can use the equation for the speed of light,
c = fλ
Where:
c = speed of light.
f = frequency of the electromagnetic wave.
λ = wavelength of the electromagnetic wave.
