Compton equation [′käm·tən i‚kwā·zhən]

(quantum mechanics)

The equation for the change in wavelength Δλ of radiation scattered by electrons in the Compton effect, Δλ = λ_c(1 - cos θ), where λ_cis the Compton wavelength of the electron, and θ is the angle between the directions of incident and scattered radiation.
