|Compton (kŏmp'tən) Pronunciation Key American physicist who
showed that when particles of light (called photons) collide
with other particles, such as electrons, they lose energy and
momentum and the light's wavelength increases. For his discovery
of this phenomenon (which became known as the Compton effect) he
shared the 1927 Nobel Prize for physics with Charles Wilson. He
also discovered the electri
