dcterms:description |
The constant \(\textit{Compton Wavelength}\) is a quantum mechanical property of a particle.
It was introduced by Arthur Compton in his explanation of the scattering of photons by electrons.
The process is known as Compton scattering.
The Compton Wavelength of a particle is equivalent to the wavelength of a photon whose energy
is the same as the rest-mass energy of the particle.
