Do Photons Have Momentum ?
What is momentum ?
Photons have energy and a finite velocity so there
must be some momentum associated with photons !
Just like Energy,
TOTAL MOMENTUM IS ALWAYS CONSERVED

The Compton Effect
In 1924, A. H. Compton performed an experiment where X-rays
impinged on matter, and he measured the scattered radiation.
Problem: According to the wave picture of light, the incident X-ray
should give up some of its energy to the electron, and emerge with a
lower energy (i.e., the amplitude is lower), but should have .

• The scattering of photons from charged
particles is called Compton scattering
after Arthur Compton who was the first
to measure photon-electron scattering in
1922.
• When the incoming photon gives part of
its energy to the electron, then the
scattered photon has lower energy and
according to the Planck relationship has
lower frequency and longer wavelength.
• The wavelength change in such
scattering depends only upon the angle
of scattering for a given target particle.
• The constant in the Compton formula
above can be written:
 The quantity h/mec is known as the
Compton wavelength of the
electron; it is equal to 2.43×10−12
m.
 The wavelength shift λ′ − λ is at
least zero (for θ = 0) and at most
twice the Compton wavelength of
the electron (for θ = 180).

Q1.
A high-energy X-ray photon is used in a laboratory
experiment to investigate photon-electron
interactions. The photon is incident on a stationary
free electron. If the X-ray is scattered at an angle of
90°, calculate the change in the wavelength of the
photon. What is the physical significance of this result?
Q2.
Gamma rays emitted by a radioactive source are
scattered by electrons in a target material. You
observe a scattered photon at 135°.
Given the incident photon has an energy of 511 keV,
determine the wavelength of the scattered photon and
the kinetic energy transferred to the electron.
Q3.
In a study of high-energy astrophysics, cosmic photons
collide with electrons in the upper atmosphere,
producing Compton scattering effects. For an incoming
photon of energy 1 MeV scattered at 180°, calculate
(a) the scattered photon energy, and (b) the maximum
possible kinetic energy of the recoiled electron.
Q4.
During an experiment in medical imaging, a 100 keV
photon is scattered by an electron at an angle of 60°.
Determine the Compton shift in wavelength and the
energy of the photon after scattering. Explain briefly
how this affects image resolution in medical imaging.
Q5.
A researcher wants to confirm the quantum nature of
light using Compton scattering. She uses a beam of
photons with a known wavelength of 0.025 nm. If the
photons are scattered at 150°, what is the final
wavelength of the scattered photons? What does this
imply about the particle-like behavior of light?
Q6.
In a physics class demonstration, a laser with a photon
energy of 2.0 eV is directed at electrons at rest. The
students are asked to observe any significant Compton
scattering effects. Explain whether significant
scattering occurs and justify your reasoning using the
Compton formula.
Q7.
An unknown photon source emits radiation that, when
scattered at 90°, results in a wavelength increase of
0.0015 nm. What is the Compton wavelength of the
particle involved? Based on your result, suggest
whether the scattering occurred with an electron,
proton, or neutron.

Photon Momentum
IN FREE SPACE:
IN OPTICAL MATERIALS:
Manifestation of the Photon Momentum
Conservation of linear
momentum implies that an
atom recoils when it
undergoes spontaneous
emission. The direction of
photon emission (and atomic
recoil) is not predictable.
A well-collimated atomic
beam of excited atoms
will spread laterally
because of the recoil
associated with
spontaneous emission.
A source emitting a spherical
wave cannot recoil, because
the spherical symmetry of
the wave prevents it from
carrying any linear
momentum from the source.

Editor's Notes

  • #21 The relationship that p=E/c is obtained from the Energy-momentum formula which Einstein derived (Special Relativity). He showed that for particles which are moving close to the speed of light, they have a total energy given by: E2 = sqrt( p2c2 + m2c4), Where p = momentum, c=speed of light, and m=mass of the particle. For m=0 (like a photon), we get E=pc, or, by rearranging, p=E/c. This explanation is beyond what I expect of you, but I provided it just in case you’re interested in where this relation p=E/c came from.
