mc 2. (a) The Compton Scattering predicts a change in the wavelength of light of h Δλ = A1 = (1 - cos o), NO while Thomson Scattering, derived from classical mechanics, says the scattering of light is elastic, with no change in wavelength. Given this information: • Explain why Thomson scattering was sufficient to explain scattering of light at optical wavelength, and which of the two formulae is more fundamental. • Calculate in which wavelength range the change in wavelength predicted by Compton Scattering becomes important.
