Compton, Arthur Holly 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. Compton was born in Wooster, Ohio, studied at Princeton, and worked 1919-20 in the UK with nuclear physicist Ernest Rutherford at Cambridge. His academic career in the USA was spent at Washington University, St Louis, 1920-23 and 1945-61, and at the University of Chicago 1923-45.

Compton, Arthur Holly Click here for full size picture (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. This so-called Compton effect (q.v.) 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 Ph.D. 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

home key issues history resources ... contact us Arthur Holly Compton to Gordon Gray Park Hotel Istanbul, Turkey April 21, 1954 Dear President Gray: I was in Pakistan when the news broke regarding the suspension of J. Robert Oppenheimer from the Advisory Board of the A. E. C., and it was not until yesterday that I received sufficiently full information about the case to make a statement that I knew would be relevant. Because of my close association with Oppenheimer, I believe that some facts from my first-hand knowledge will be useful to your committee in judging his loyalty. These facts I am stating here with the same responsibility for their veracity as I would accept in the case of sworn testimony before a court of law. 1. I was responsible for appointing Oppenheimer to the task of organizing whatever was necessary for designing the atomic bomb. This was about the end of April, 1942. (The dates given here are all approximate. I have here no notes regarding these matters, and all of my statements are from memory.) It was a month or two later that responsibility for the atomic development was assigned to the U. S. Engineers (Army), and it was in September, 1942, that I recommended to General Groves that Oppenheimer be continued at this task, and that the responsibility be enlarged to include the construction of the bomb. This recommendation was in accord with that of others, in particular that of Dr. James Conant, and was accepted.

Arthur Compton From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. (Redirected from Arthur Holly Compton Arthur Holly Compton September 10 March 15 ) won the Nobel Prize in Physics (1927) for discovery of the effect named after him. Around , Compton devised a demonstration method for the Earth's rotation. In , Compton studied X-ray scattering. In , Compton found that X-rays wavelength increases due to scattering of the radiant energy by " free electrons ". Scattered quanta have less energy than the quanta of the original ray. This observation furthers the " particle " concept of electromagnetic radiation . Compton also developed the method for observing at the same instant individual scattered X-ray photons and the recoil electrons (developed with A. W. Simon). In Germany, W. Bothe and H. Geiger independently form a similar method. edit See also Luminiferous aether Princeton University Timeline mechanics and physics Categories ...

40. Compton, Arthur, Holly compton, arthur, holly. (18921962). Americký fyzik, nositel Nobelovyceny pro rok 1927 za výzkum rozptylu fotonu na volných elektronech. http://www.aldebaran.cz/famous/people/Compton_Arthur.html

Compton, Arthur, Holly Americký fyzik, nositel Nobelovy ceny pro rok 1927 za výzkum rozptylu fotonu na volných elektronech. Cenu sdílí s britským fyzikem Charlesem Wilsonem , který je objevitelem mlžné komory. Compton se zabýval RTG záøením. V roce 1922 zjistil úhlovou závislost zmìny vlnové délky vysoce energetického fotonu pøi rozptylu na elektronech. Comptonùv objev potvrdil, že elektromagnetické záøení má jak vlnovou, tak èásticovou povahu a stal se klíèovým experimentem rodící se kvantové teorie. Dnes se tento rozptyl nazývá Comptonùv jev. V pøípadì, že foton získá od elektronu energii, hovoøíme o tzv. inversním Comptonovì jevu. Ten je jedním ze základních mechanismù, kterým mohou fotony ve vesmíru získat obrovské energie. Compton se také zabýval výzkumem kosmického záøení, odrazem polarizací a spektrálními vlastnostmi RTG záøení. Compton se narodil ve Woosteru ve státì Ohio a vystudoval Wooster College a Univesitu v Princetonu. V roce 1923 se stal profesorem fyziky na Universitì v Chicagu. Stal se øeditelem laboratoøe, ve které byl uveden do provozu první jaderný reaktor na svìtì ( Enrico Fermi , 1942). Compton se také zúèastnil konstrukce první atomové bomby. Od roku 1945 do roku 1953 byl rektorem University ve Washingtonu a po roce 1954 zde pùsobil jako profesor filosofie.
