Demystifying Compton Scattering
As the incident photon energy increases, the likelihood that it will undergo Photoelectric Effect decreases and the Compton Effect also referred to as Compton scattering becomes the dominant mode of interaction. In Compton scattering, the incident photon with energy hv0 interacts with a loosely bound (or free) electron from an outer shell and transfers some…
