In 1921, Professor A.H. Compton discovered that whrn a mono-chrometic beam of light of high frequency radiation ( X-rays, Y-rays, etc.) is scattered by a substance, the scattered radiation contain two components
-One having a lower frequency or greater wavelength and the another having the same frequency or wavelength.
The radiation of of unchanged frequency in the scattered beam is knows as unmodified radiation while the radiation of lower frequency is called as modified radiation.
And the difference in wavelength is known as Compton Effect.
