The inelastic scattering of photons in matter results in a decrease in energy (increase in wavelength) of an X-ray or gamma ray photon, called the Compton Effect. Part of the energy of the X/gamma ray is … Read more

One is that it would allow physicists to define a particles mass and inertia by using one’s … Read more
