He earned a Bachelor of Science in 1913 from the College of Wooster, at which his father had been the Dean, and then spent three years in postgraduate study at Princeton University, where he devised an elegant method for demonstrating the Earth's rotation.
Compton scattering (or the Compton effect) is the quantum theory of high frequency photons scattering following an interaction with a charged particle, usually an electron. Specifically, when the photon hits electrons, it releases loosely bound electrons from the outer valence shells of atoms or molecules. The effect was discovered in 1923 by ...

Arthur Compton (10 tháng 9 năm 1892 – 15 tháng 3 năm 1962) là một nhà vật lý người Mỹ. Ông đoạt Giải Nobel Vật lý năm 1927 cùng với Charles Wilson cho khám phá của ông về hiệu ứng Compton—hiện tượng mô tả tính chất hạt của bức xạ điện từ. Ông đã làm hiệu trưởng Đại học Washington ở St Louis 1945-1953. Arthur Compton sinh ra ở Wooster, Ohio vào năm 1892 trong gia đình Elias và Otelia Compton.
C OMPTON 1892-1962. When Arthur Compton graduated from college he considered taking up a religious career. But his father advised him that he ought to go into science: "Your work in this field may become a more valuable Christian service than if you were to enter the ministry or become a missionary." Such thoughts helped Compton reconcile the ...
