Define Compton Effect

Compton Effect (A.H. Compton; 1923): The effect which describes those photons (that is the quantum of electromagnetic radiation) has momentum. The photon fired at a stationary particle, like an electron, will communicate momentum to the electron and, as its energy has been reduced, will experience a corresponding reduction in frequency.
