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.

コンプトン効果（コンプトンこうか、英: Compton effect）とは、X線を物体に照射したとき、散乱X線の波長が入射X線の波長より長くなる現象である。これは電子によるX線の非弾性散乱によって起こる現象であり、X線（電磁波）が粒子性をもつこと、つまり光子として振る舞うことを示す。また、コンプトン効果の生じる散乱をコンプトン散乱（コンプトンさんらん、英: Compton scattering）と呼ぶ。
