Investigating the Compton Effect with a Spreadsheet.

Peer reviewed

Kinderman, Jesusa Valdez – Physics Teacher, 1992

Describes a computer simulation of the Compton effect designed to lead students to discover (1) the relationship of the electron's final kinetic energy to its angle of scattering and (2) the relationship between the scattering angles of the outgoing electron and photon. (MDH)
