What is Compton shift?

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 given Wavelength?

Compton Shift given Wavelength calculator uses Compton Shift = Compton Wavelength*(1-cos(Theta)) to calculate the Compton Shift, The Compton Shift given Wavelength is the separation of the two peaks which depends on the scattering angle,θ of the outgoing beam. Compton Shift is denoted by Δλ symbol.
