Question

justify the fact that the Compton effect is observed with x-rays and gamma rays but not with visible and UV radiations
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Compton effect is observed with x-rays and gamma rays but not with visible and UV radiations.

Explanation:

Compton scattering ia mainly an inelastic scattering of a photon which is by a quasi-free charged particle (usually an electron). It results in a decrease in energy and increase in wavelength of the photon. It could may be an X-ray or could be a gamma ray photon, called the Compton effect. A part of the energy of the photon gets transferred to the recoiling electron. The threshold frequency is equal to that of ultravoilet light In most of metals  and the binding energy is equal to work function of metal so Compton effect is associated with X-rays and the statement is correct.
