Quantum
Compton Scattering Calculator
Calculates the scattered photon energy after a Compton scattering event given the incident photon energy, scattering angle, and target particle mass. Use it when analyzing X-ray or gamma-ray interactions with matter.

Quantum
Blackbody Radiation Calculator
Calculates blackbody spectral radiance, peak wavelength, and total radiated power using Planck's law and the Stefan–Boltzmann law. Use it when analysing thermal radiation from stars, furnaces, or infrared sensors.
