Compton Effect and Compton Wavelength

This physics video tutorial provides a basic introduction into the compton effect also known as compton scattering. When a photon strikes an electron, the photon may be absorbed causing the electron to move into a higher energy level or to exit the atom in the case of the photoelectric effect. This video also explains how to calculate the compton wavelength of an electron and a proton.
