Accurately calculate the Compton wavelength shift for photons interacting with electrons. Our tool helps physicists and students understand the change in photon wavelength after Compton scattering, based on the input scattering angle. Explore quantum phenomena with ease and precision.
Formula:
The Compton wavelength shift (Δλ) is calculated using the formula:
Δλ = λC * (1 - cos θ)
Where:
λC = Compton wavelength of the electron (approximately 2.426 x 10-12 meters)
θ = Scattering angle of the photon (in radians, converted from degrees for calculation)
