Compton Shift Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Compton Shift of an Atom = Wavelength of Scattered Beam-Wavelength of incident beam
Δλ_atom = λ_s-λ_i
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Compton Shift of an Atom - (Measured in Meter) - Compton Shift of an Atom is the separation of the two peaks which depends on the scattering angle,θ of the outgoing beam.
Wavelength of Scattered Beam - (Measured in Meter) - Wavelength of Scattered Beam is the wavelength of radiation spectrum peaks or intensity peaks at the scattered photon.
Wavelength of incident beam - (Measured in Meter) - Wavelength of incident beam is the wavelength of radiation spectrum peaks or intensity peaks at the incident photon.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Wavelength of Scattered Beam: 100 Electron Compton Wavelength --> 2.42631057999994E-10 Meter (Check conversion here)
Wavelength of incident beam: 71 Electron Compton Wavelength --> 1.72268051179996E-10 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Δλ_atom = λ_s-λ_i --> 2.42631057999994E-10-1.72268051179996E-10

Evaluating ... ...

Δλ_atom = 7.0363006819998E-11

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

7.0363006819998E-11 Meter -->28.9999999999998 Electron Compton Wavelength (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

28.9999999999998 ≈ 29 Electron Compton Wavelength <-- Compton Shift of an Atom

Δλ_atom = λ_s-λ_i

What is the Compton effect?

The Compton effect is the term used for an unusual result observed when X-rays are scattered on some materials. By classical theory, when an electromagnetic wave is scattered off atoms, the wavelength of the scattered radiation is expected to be the same as the wavelength of the incident radiation.

How to Calculate Compton Shift?

Compton Shift calculator uses Compton Shift of an Atom = Wavelength of Scattered Beam-Wavelength of incident beam to calculate the Compton Shift of an Atom, The Compton shift formula is the separation of the two peaks which depends on the scattering angle,θ of the outgoing beam. Compton Shift of an Atom is denoted by Δλ_atom symbol.

How to calculate Compton Shift using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Compton Shift, enter Wavelength of Scattered Beam (λ_s) & Wavelength of incident beam (λ_i) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Compton Shift calculation can be explained with given input values -> 1.2E+13 = 2.42631057999994E-10-1.72268051179996E-10.
