... Equations (1.2) and (1.4) are tested in the Compton eect. When photons collide with free electrons or protons, not bound into a solid, they cannot be absorbed because it can be shown (see problem 1.2) that this would violate conservation of energy and momentum. (In the photoelectric eect some of t ...

Also, as the diffraction pattern builds, we cannot predict where any particular particle will land, although ...
