  1. Chapter 40 Introduction to Quantum Physics (Cont.) PHY 1371

  2. Outline • The Compton effect • Compton’s scattering experiment and results • Compton shift equation and its derivation • Wave properties of particle • De Broglie wavelength for material particles and matter waves PHY 1371

  3. The Compton effect • In 1923, Compton’s experiment of x-ray scattering from electronsprovided the direct experimental proof for Einstein’s concept of Photons. • Einstein’s concept of phonons • Phonon energy: E = hf • Phonon momentum p: = E/c = hf/c = h/. • Compton’s apparatus to study scattering of x-rays from electrons PHY 1371

  4. Results of Compton’s scattering experiment • Experimental intensity-versus-wavelength plots for four scattering angles . • The graphs for the three nonzero angles show two peaks, one at 0 and one at ’ > 0. • The shifted peak at ’ is caused by the scattering of x-rays from free electrons. • Compton shift equation: Compton’s prediction for the shift in wavelength ’ - 0 = (h/mec)(1 – cos ). • h/mec = 0.00243 nm PHY 1371

  5. Derivation of the Compton Shift Equation • Assuming that • The photon is treated as a particle having energy E = hf = hc/ and momentum p = h/. • A photon collides elastically with a free electron initially at rest – both the total energy and total momentum of the phonon-electron pair are conserved. PHY 1371

  6. The wave properties of particles • In 1923, French physicist Louis de Broglie postulated that because photons have both wave and particle characteristics, perhaps all forms of matter have both properties (Louis de Broglie won the Nobel Prize in 1929). • De Broglie suggested that material particles of momentum p and energy E have a characteristic wavelength  and frequency f given by •  = h/p – The de Broglie wavelengthof a material particle and f = E/h. • Note: p = mv for v << c and p = mv for any speed v, where  = (1-v2/c2)-1/2. • The particle and wave dual nature of matter and the matter waves. PHY 1371

  7. Example 40.8 The wavelength of an electron • Calculate the de Broglie wavelength for an electron (m = 9.11 x 10-31 kg) moving at 1.00 x 107 m/s. • As a comparison, find the de Broglie wavelength of a stone of mass 50 g thrown with a speed of 40 m/s. PHY 1371
