ROOP Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 why xray is used in compton effect rather than uv ray?
swansont Posted January 28, 2011 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?
