How was the spectra measured?
Here is what they knew at the turn of the century. The total power radiated is The wavelength for maximum radiation is inversely proportional to the temperature The distribution of wavelengths depends on the temperature only, not the material. power area area under curve

Compton Scattering
Compton Scattering
Classical Scattering of Electromagnetic Wave We do not have to consider the magnetic field since it is so small compared to the electric field So the radiation wavelength is the same as the incident wavelength.
Compton Scattering Answer the first three questions in the tutorial and draw the diagram for the scattering experiment. Discuss the Compton experiment in your group. What are the two physical quantities in the collision? What is the assumption for light that Compton used? That light behaved like a particle with energy And momentum
Compton Scattering What two equations (conservation law) did Compton use to find the change in wavelength? Draw the collision between the electron and the photon. Label the angles and . Conservation of energy Conservation of momentum
Write the energy and momentum for each before and after the collision Conservation of Energy Conservation of Momentum
Write the energy and momentum for each before and after the collision before after electron photon ?

Use the results above and substitute into the conservation equation. Do the same for conservation of momentum in the x direction. Now for momentum in the y direction. Compton solved these three equations to find = - . Where is the initial wavelength for the photon and is the final wavelength for the photon. What is the final results (Compton’s equation) that Compton found?
