Explanation of the Compton Effect
The photons of an X-ray beam transfer part of their momentum to free electrons during a collision, and with the remaining momentum, they continue their path. Such collisions are typically oblique collisions.
pp=pe+pp´
In a cloud chamber, the electrons can be observed, and in an X-ray spectrometer, the photons with their now reduced energy can be detected.
