There are similarities and differences between the Photoelectric Effect and Compton Scattering. Complete each of the six partial statements below using the following guide; all you need to provide for an answer is PE, CS, BOTH, or NEITHER.
• PE if the statement only applies to the Photoelectric Effect
• CS if the statement only applies to Compton Scattering
• BOTH if the statement only applies to both the Photoelectric Effect and Compton Scattering
• NEITHER if the statement applies to Neither the Photoelectric Effect or Compton Scattering
