    Extractions: Arthur Holly Compton, left, with his assistant Richard L. Doan, 1936 Hulton Deutsch Collection/Corbis (b. Sept. 10, 1892, Wooster, Ohio, U.S.d. March 15, 1962, Berkeley, Calif.), American physicist and joint winner, with C.T.R. Wilson of England, of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1927 for his discovery and explanation of the change in the wavelength of X rays when they collide with electrons in metals. This so-called Compton effect is caused by the transfer of energy from the photon to the electron. Its discovery in 1922 confirmed the dual nature of electromagnetic radiation as both a wave and a particle. Compton, a younger brother of the physicist Karl T. Compton, received his doctorate from Princeton University in 1916 and became head of the department of physics at Washington University, St. Louis, in 1920. From 1923 to 1945 he was professor of physics at the University of Chicago. In 1941 Compton was chairman of the committee of the National Academy of Sciences that studied the military potential of atomic energy. In this capacity he was instrumental, with the physicist Ernest O. Lawrence, in initiating the Manhattan Project, which created the first atomic bomb. From 1942 to 1945 Compton was director of the Metallurgical Laboratory at the University of Chicago, which developed the first self-sustaining atomic chain reaction and paved the way for controlled release of nuclear energy. He became chancellor of Washington University in 1945 and was professor of natural history there from 1953 until 1961.

    Extractions: C OMPTON When Arthur Compton graduated from college he considered taking up a religious career. But his father advised him that he ought to go into science: "Your work in this field may become a more valuable Christian service than if you were to enter the ministry or become a missionary." Such thoughts helped Compton reconcile the two chief influences of his upbringing, devout religion and intellectual work. His father was Professor of Philosophy and later Dean of the College of Wooster, where Arthur was educated; his older brother and good friend Karl, later a noted physicist and president of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, communicated his own love of science. At an early point Karl introduced Arthur to the study of X-rays, which was to be the younger brother's main line of work for many years. In 1913 he followed Karl to Princeton, and for his Ph.D. thesis studied the angular distribution of X-rays reflected from crystals. On graduation in 1916 he married a classmate from Wooster College, Betty McCloskey, who became an intelligent and enthusiastic partner in his later activities. Compton was named instructor in physics at the University of Minnesota, one of a number of state-supported schools that were working hard to teach science and to introduce the spirit of pure research. The experiments begun here eventually led Compton to state that magnetization of a material depends not on the orbits of the electrons in it, but on the electron's own elementary characteristics; he was the first to suggest the existence of quantized electron spin.

    Extractions: Encyclopedia Compton effect [for A. H. Compton Wikipedia compton scattering In quantum mechanics , the Compton scattering or Compton effect , observed by Arthur Compton in , is the increase in wavelength which occurs when X-ray (or gamma ray photons with energies of around 0.5MeV to 3.5MeV interact with electrons in a material. Compton's experiment became the ultimate observation that convinced all physicists that light can behave as a stream of particles whose energy is proportional to the frequency. Because the photons have such high energy , the interaction results in the electron being given enough energy to be completely ejected from its atom , and a photon containing the remaining energy being emitted in a different direction from the original, so that the overall momentum of the system is conserved. (If the photon still has enough energy, the process may be repeated.) Because of the overall reduction in energy of the photon, there is a corresponding increase in its

    Extractions: US physicist who in 1923 found that X-rays scattered by such light elements as carbon increased their wavelengths. He concluded from this unexpected result that the X-rays were displaying both wavelike and particlelike properties, since named the Compton effect. He shared a Nobel prize 1927 with Scottish physicist Charles Wilson. Compton was also a principal contributor to the development of the atomic bomb. The behaviour of the X-ray, previously considered only as a wave, is explained best by considering that it acts as a corpuscle or particle - as a photon (Compton's term) of electromagnetic radiation. Quantum mechanics benefited greatly from this interpretation. Further confirmation came from experiments using a cloud chamber in which collisions between X-rays and electrons were photographed and analysed.
