Compton Scattering: The Century-Old Probe of Light and Matter

We dive into the Compton effect—the 1923 X-ray scattering that proved light carries momentum and energy in quanta. From the landmark experiment to modern efforts that use Compton scattering to explore the inner structure of protons and neutrons, this episode connects wave-particle duality to cutting-edge nuclear physics and imaging.
