Photons with a wavelength of 589 nm in air enter a plate ofcrown glass with index of refraction n = 1.52. Find the (a)speed, (b) wavelength, and (c) energy of a photon in the glass.
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.
