Its inverse variety results in photons gaining energy and the Sunyaev- Zel'dovich effect due to distortions of the cosmic microwave background radiation.
Its inverse variety results in photons gaining energy and the Sunyaev- Zel'dovich effect due to distortions of the cosmic microwave background radiation. This effect is observed when a high-energy photon collides with a target that contains loosely-bound electrons on its outer shell. The x-rays scattered from these electrons have a longer wavelength than that of the incident photon, and this shift in wavelength increases with the scattering angle. FTP, name this effect that lent further support to the idea of wave- particle duality.
