Light isn’t just a wave… sometimes it behaves like a particle.
This animation shows the Compton Effect — when a high-energy photon collides with an electron and its wavelength changes after the interaction.
It’s not just a simple collision.
It’s powerful evidence that light carries momentum.
This is where classical physics fails… and quantum mechanics takes over.
If you want to see physics, not just memorize formulas — this one’s for you.

El efecto Compton, o dispersión Compton, es el aumento de la longitud de onda de un fotón (rayos X o gamma) al colisionar con un electrón libre o débilmente unido. Al chocar, el fotón transfiere parte de su energía al electrón (electrón de retroceso), dispersándose con menor energía y mayor longitud de onda
