An electron subjected to a partial transfer of energy Explanation: This is how I would put it... and more or less what I have seen in my own research. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 35 mins (2007-06-13 13:29:36 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Abstract: D1.00052 : ** Partial and Complete Transfer of Energy ** in Bremsstrahlung Must Include Spin and Vibrational Kinetic Energies Even though here the context if Bremsstrahlung scattering, the same applies to Compton scattering as well. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 36 mins (2007-06-13 13:31:24 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- he interaction between electrons and high energy photons results in the ** electron being given part of the energy ** (making it recoil), and a photon containing the remaining energy being emitted in a different direction from the original, so that the overall momentum of the system is conserved. If the photon still has enough energy left, the process may be repeated. Compton scattering occurs in all materials and predominantly with photons of medium energy, i.e. about 0.5 to 3.5 MeV. It is also observed that high-energy photons (photons of visible light or higher frequency, for example) have sufficient energy to even eject the bound electrons from the atom (Photoelectric effect).
