From Compton effect we have the formula :


          dl = h (1 - cos @ )/ mec...


where dl is change in wavelength,


h is Plancks constant,


@ is angle of scattering of photon,


c is veolcity of light..


My doubt is this sentence :


"Thus, scattered wavelength is always greater than the incident wavelength.This provides convincing evidence of quantum nature of radiation ."


How???


Rates assured!


Thanks!

do u mean how it proves photon concept of electron

EXPECT MORE FROM URSELF THAN FRM OTHERS AS EXPECTATION FRM OTHERS HURTS U WHILE FROM UR SELF INSPIRES U A lot

hey

the compton theory used the quantam concept and particle nature of photon  laws of conservation of energy and momentum applied to point like scattering of photon from electron was the proof i can give details if u want

I meant how does it prove quantum nature of radiation, as opposed to the classical picture?

higher wavelenght means lower energy.


imagine electrons in n = 1 state. (maximum amount of electrons here). it will absorb a photon only of certal energy, so that it can go EXACTLY to any integral higher state. suppose it goes to n = 3.


from here, it comes back to n = 1. but not directly. some amount of electrons will go directly, some go to n = 2 and then to n =1 .


the few electrons who go from n = 3 to n = 2 will cause a high wavelneght photon to be emitted.


the electrons who  were not in n= 1 to begin with are a very very small amount, so their contribution is negligible.


you mey not consider my explanation as good enough.. but this is true.. i had asked my sir some time ago.


 


cheers

I want to know how the fact that scattered wavelength is greater than incident wavelength proves quantum nature of radiation.


@cutepooja - if the proof explains THIS,please give it !


Thanks!!

classical theory says when a photon interacts wid electron the electrons oscillate wid freq of photon as the interaction radiates em radiation at this freq (thomson scatterin)
at backward scattering angles there appeared a component of emiited rad (modifeid wave) had a longer wavelength than unmodified
the classical theory cud not explain that

o ya n the quantum theory.. well, the electron wud not go from n = 3 to n =2 to n =1 unless these quantum states existed in the first place... i agree the statement is slightly vague.. probably they are mentioning in context to something they wrote before this also?

Light must behave as if it consists of particles in order to explain the Compton scattering. Compton's experiment convinced physicists that light can behave as a stream of particles whose energy is proportional to the frequency.


altitude begets altitude.

@cutepooja- pl. go on..I think I'm understanding something




 


@shreyasnivas -before this the only thing is Compton effect itself-the description..could that be it?Thanks for your answer!!I partly understood!
