There are 5 lessons in this physics tutorial covering The Compton Effect and Pressure of Light. The tutorial starts with an introduction to The Compton Effect and Pressure of Light and is then followed with a list of the separate lessons, the tutorial is designed to be read in order but you can skip to a specific lesson or return to recover a specific physics lesson as required to build your physics knowledge of The Compton Effect and Pressure of Light. you can access all the lessons from this tutorial below.
In this Physics tutorial, you will learn:
- What is scattered (diffuse) radiation? When does it occur?
- What are the two components of scattered radiation?
- What is the Compton wavelength?
- How can we find the change in light wavelength during the Compton Effect?
- Does light exert any pressure on objects? How does this process occur?
- What are the factors affecting the light pressure?
- Is light a wave or a particle?
Introduction
Where do we rely when supporting the idea that light is a wave? What about when light is considered as a particle?
Do you think atoms of matter can change the direction of light rays? Why?
Do you think light is able to exert pressure on objects? If yes, why we cannot feel it?
What is light really: a particle or a wave?
All these questions will get an answer after reading this tutorial, which makes a connection between classic and modern approach on light.
