"' Inverse Compton scattering "'takes place when the electron is moving, and has sufficient kinetic energy compared to the photon.
32.
:Perhaps more important to you & ndash; the soft, squishy human being hiding behind your flimsy shield & ndash; is Compton scattering.
33.
Experimental verification of momentum conservation in individual Compton scattering processes by Geiger as well as by Compton and Simon has been important in disproving the BKS theory.
34.
Examples are the scattering of radiation by free electrons, Compton scattering, the collision between relativistic electrons or the production of electron-positron pairs by photons.
35.
An alternative amplifying medium is the relativistic electron beam in a free electron laser, which, strictly speaking, uses stimulated Compton scattering instead of stimulated emission.
36.
In spectrophotometry, the "'Compton edge "'is a feature of the spectrograph that results from the Compton scattering in the scintillator or detector.
37.
The equations that define Compton Scattering are explained in our article; depending on the energy of the incident light, it can cause total ionization of an electron.
38.
Radio-loud quasars can also produce X-rays and gamma rays by inverse Compton scattering of lower-energy photons by the radio-emitting electrons in the jet.
39.
Compton scattering is an example of inelastic scattering of light by a free charged particle, where the wavelength of the scattered light is different from that of the incident radiation.
40.
Furthermore, when an electron with relativistic energy collides with an infrared or visible photon, the electron gives energy to the photon; this process is called inverse Compton scattering.
