PhotonCompton scattering experiment

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

The wavelength shift follows energy–momentum conservation for photons scattering from electrons.

How to interpret this relation type

The source theory, law, entity, prediction, or structural claim is directly tested, supported, constrained, or established by the target experiment or observation. Experimental support is not final logical proof; the edge detail states exactly what was measured.
