Description

The incident photon in Compton scattering may also affect the rotation and vibration of the impacted particle. Therefore, the Compton Effect formula must account for the total motion change, not just the linear motion. The Compton relation must be modified in the following manner: $\{hc/\lambda_1 + mc^2 + 1/2mv^2_1 + 1/2I\omega^2_1 + 1/2k_1x^2_1 = hc/\lambda_2 + mc^2 + 1/2mv^2_2 +1/2I\omega^2_2 + 1/2k_2x^2_2 }\$ .
