The Compton effect is what happens when light particles called photons bounce off electrons in an atom, similar to how a ball might bounce off another object. This discovery was important because it showed that light behaves like particles with specific energy and momentum, which helped scientists understand the true nature of light.

El efecto Compton (o dispersión Compton) consiste en el aumento de la longitud de onda de un fotón cuando choca con un electrón libre y pierde parte de su energía. La frecuencia o la longitud de onda de la radiación dispersada depende únicamente del ángulo de dispersión.
