Compton effect
Updates to Article Attributes
Body
was changed:
Compton effect is the most important reason forcause of scattered radiation. It occurs due to the interaction of the X-ray photon with the outermost shell (valence shell) electron at the atomic level. The resultant incident photon gets scattered as well as ejects the electron (which, which further ionizes other atoms).
Probability of compton effect
- directly proportional to
- number of outer shell electrons
- density of material
- inversely proportional to
- photon energy
- does not depend on
- atomic number (unlike photoelectric effect)
