PHY240 QUESTION #9

Which of the following statement(s) is (are) true?

I. Photoelectric effect arises due to the absorption of electrons by photons

II. Compton effect arises due to the scattering of photons by free electrons

III. In the photoelectric effect, only part of the energy of the incident photon is lost in the process

IV.In the Compton effect, the photon completely disappears and all of its energy is given to the Compton electron
