Arthur Holly Compton (1892-1962) discovered that when a photon strikes an electron, it imparts both energy and momentum to the electron. After collision, the photon’s wavelength has increased and it energy has decreased. The effect is considered the confirmation that light is made of particles and photons have momentum. Compton measured photon-electron scattering in 1922 and received the Nobel in Physics in 1927 for his achievement.
