In Compton scattering, a photon of wavelength and frequency f is scattered from an electron, ...

In Compton scattering, a photon of wavelength λ and frequency f is scattered from an electron, initially at rest. In this process,

▸

the electron gains energy from the photon so that the scattered photon's wave length is less than λ.

▸

the electron gives energy to the scattered photon so the photon's frequency is greater than f.

▸

momentum is not conserved, but energy is conserved.

▸

the photon loses energy so that the scattered photon has a frequency less than f.
