Quantum

Compton Scattering Calculator

Compute the scattered photon's wavelength after Compton scattering off a free electron, given the initial wavelength and scattering angle. The wavelength shift demonstrates the photon's particle-like momentum exchange.

Quantum

De Broglie Wavelength Calculator

Compute the de Broglie wavelength λ = h/(m·v) of a massive particle from its mass and velocity. Demonstrates wave-particle duality: every massive particle has an associated quantum wavelength.
