   Extractions: In his early days at Princeton, Compton devised an elegant method for demonstrating the Earth's rotation, but he was soon to begin his studies in the field of X-rays. He developed a theory of the intensity of X-ray reflection from crystals as a means of studying the arrangement of electrons and atoms, and in 1918 he started a study of X-ray scattering. This led, in 1922, to his discovery of the increase of wavelength of X-rays due to scattering of the incident radiation by free electrons, which implies that the scattered quanta have less energy than the quanta of the original beam. This effect, nowadays known as the Compton effect In addition, Compton discovered (with C. F. Hagenow) the phenomenon of total reflection of X-rays and their complete polarization, which led to a more accurate determination of the number of electrons in an atom. He was also the first (with R. L. Doan) who obtained X-ray spectra from ruled gratings, which offers a direct method of measuring the wavelength of X-rays. By comparing these spectra with those obtained when using a crystal, the absolute value of the grating space of the crystal can be determined. The Avogadro number found by combining above value with the measured crystal density, led to a new value for the electronic charge. This outcome necessitated the revision of the

The Compton effect is the change in wavelength of high energy electromagnetic radiation when it scatters off electrons . The discovery of the Compton effect confirmed that electromagnetic radiation has both wave and particle properties, a central principle of quantum theory Compton was born in Wooster, Ohio, and educated at Wooster College and Princeton University. In 1923 he became professor of physics at the University of Chicago. While at the University of Chicago, Compton directed the laboratory where the first substainable nuclear chain-reaction was performed. ( see Nuclear Energy ). Compton also played a role in the development of the atomic bomb (

    Extractions: Library Biographies Arthur Holly Compton Arthur Holly Compton Arthur Holly Compton was born on 10 September 1892 in Wooster, Ohio. After graduating from Wooster College, Compton attended Princeton University and studied the angular distribution of X-rays reflected from crystals. He received his Ph.D. in 1916. After working as a research engineer at Westinghouse Corporation for a few years, Compton won a National Research Council fellowship in 1919, and went to Cambridge, England to study the properties of scattered gamma rays. Compton served as head of the physics department at Washington University from 1920 until 1923. In 1923, Compton joined the faculty at the University of Chicago and resumed his work on X-rays, studying the changes that take place in the wavelength of X-rays when they collide with electrons in metals. This so-called "Compton Effect" provided proof that electromagnetic radiation possesses properties of both waves and particles. This work earned Compton the 1927 Nobel Prize for Physics, which he shared with C.T.R. Wilson. Compton then Printer Friendly

    Extractions: Istanbul, Turkey April 21, 1954 Dear President Gray: I was in Pakistan when the news broke regarding the suspension of J. Robert Oppenheimer from the Advisory Board of the A. E. C., and it was not until yesterday that I received sufficiently full information about the case to make a statement that I knew would be relevant. Because of my close association with Oppenheimer, I believe that some facts from my first-hand knowledge will be useful to your committee in judging his loyalty. These facts I am stating here with the same responsibility for their veracity as I would accept in the case of sworn testimony before a court of law. 1. I was responsible for appointing Oppenheimer to the task of organizing whatever was necessary for designing the atomic bomb. This was about the end of April, 1942. (The dates given here are all approximate. I have here no notes regarding these matters, and all of my statements are from memory.) It was a month or two later that responsibility for the atomic development was assigned to the U. S. Engineers (Army), and it was in September, 1942, that I recommended to General Groves that Oppenheimer be continued at this task, and that the responsibility be enlarged to include the construction of the bomb. This recommendation was in accord with that of others, in particular that of Dr. James Conant, and was accepted.

Arthur Holly Compton was born in Wooster, Ohio in 1892 to Elias and Otelia Compton . They were an academic family; his father Elias Compton was president of a local college . His eldest brother Karl T. Compton also became a physicist, and later president of MIT ; his second brother Wilson M. Compton became a diplomat and president of Washington State University Around , Compton devised a demonstration method for the Earth 's rotation In , Compton began studying X-ray scattering. In , Compton found that X-rays wavelength increases due to scattering of the radiant energy by " free electrons ". Scattered quanta have less energy than the quanta of the original ray. This observation furthers the " particle " concept of electromagnetic radiation . Compton developed the method for observing at the same instant individual scattered X-ray photons and the recoil electrons (developed with Alfred W. Simon
