The Compton effect gives information about:

The Compton effect gives information about: Correct Answer Corpuscle nature of light

Concept:

Corpuscle nature of light:

  • The light is made up of small discrete particles named as "corpuscles" (little particles) which travel in a straight line and have a finite velocity. 
  • It basically says about the particle nature of light. 

Compton Effect:

  • It is the scattering of a photon by a charged particle, usually an electron.
  • When a photon collides with an electron at rest, the photon gives its energy to the electron.
  • So, the scattered photon (photon after the collision) will have a higher wavelength (lower energy) compared to the wavelength of the incident photon (photon before the collision).
  • This shift in wavelength is called the Compton shift.

​Explanation:

So, it explains the collision of photons with electrons. 

The energy of the photon got changed due to a change in wavelength after the collision. This is the behaviour of the particle or Corpuscle nature of light. 

So, the correct option is Corpuscle nature of light.

​Additional Information

  • The Compton effect is named after American physicist Arthur Holly Compton, who first discovered this effect. 
  • The photoelectric effect also shows particle nature.
  • The wave nature of light is shown by Hygueins Princile.
  • The transverse nature of light is shown by Polarization.

Passage: The phenomenal rise of social media (SM) platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and others is proving to be a double-edged sword in the functioning of democracies. On the one hand, it has democratized access to information. On the other hand, it has concentrated power over that information with a handful of private companies, their billionaire owners, and certain ideologically committed activist groups. Statements: (A) Social media allow the democratisation of information and broader communication. (B) Social media bypass traditional curators of information like Journalists and PIB. (C) Social media reduce the cost of creating and disseminating information. Question: Which of the above statements weakens the argument that social media is desirable?
