Babinet's principle says that the diffraction pattern observed when light strikes an aperture of any shape is the same as that obtained when light strikes an object that is the complement of such aperture.A laser with a wavelength of 600nm is incident on a hair, generating a diffraction pattern with a width of the principal maximum of 12mm on a screen located 1m away from the hair. What is the diameter of this hair?
Compton effect
The incoming photons' energy must be in the range of an X-ray frequency to generate the Compton effect. The electron does not lose enough energy that reduces the wavelength of scattered photons towards the visible spectrum. As a result, with visible lights, the Compton effect is missing.
Recoil Velocity
The amount of backward thrust or force experienced by a person when he/she shoots a gun in the forward direction is called recoil velocity. This phenomenon always follows the law of conservation of linear momentum.
