Question

Why is the collision between electron and photon inelastic?

Answer 1

when it is the electron that gives up some energy to the photon, it is called the inverse compton effect. When electrons and photons collide, there is indeed inelastic collision. ... During Compton scattering, the photon loses energy, part of which is transferred to the electron

Answer 2

when it is the electron that gives up some energy to the photon, it is called the inverse compton effect. When electrons and photons collide, there is indeed inelastic collision. ... During Compton scattering, the photon loses energy, part of which is transferred to the electron.
