Question

What is the fundamental differences between photoelectric effect and compton effect

Answer 1

Answer:

Answers. Photo electric effect occur in bound electron, while compton effect occur in free electron. In photo electron effect, the photo and hence energy of the photon is absorbed by the electron. While in compton effect photon is scattered.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

The main diffrence b/w photoelectric effect and compton effect is that in photoelectric effect the entire energy of incident photon is aquired by   a single electron whereas in compton effect the incident photon transfer only a part of its energy to an electron.

now you may say what is incident photon?

so, a quntum of electromagnetic radiation regarded as a particle with zero rest mass and charge unit ,spin and its energy is equal to the product of the frequency of the radiation and planck constant
