Compton wavelength
The
Compton wavelength
is a
quantum mechanical
property of a particle. It was introduced by
Arthur Compton
in his explanation of the scattering of
photons
by
electrons
(a process known as
Compton scattering
). The Compton wavelength of a particle is equivalent to the
wavelength
of a photon whose energy is the same as the
rest-mass energy
of the particle.
