Deriving the Compton Wavelength Equation by the Classical Method

10 February 2026, Version 3
Working Paper
This content is an early or alternative research output and has not been peer-reviewed by Cambridge University Press at the time of posting.

Abstract

In the path of deriving the Compton wavelength formula, two relativistic equations are used. In this letter, for the first time in Physics, we will obtain the Compton equation without using these two equations and only by using the classical physics. It is clear that this is an important achievement for Physics.
