Mar 11, 2024 · Arthur Holly Compton (born September 10, 1892, Wooster, Ohio, U.S.—died March 15, 1962, Berkeley, California) was an American physicist and joint winner, with C.T.R. Wilson of England, of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1927 for his discovery and explanation of the change in the wavelength of X-rays when they collide with electrons in metals.
Lived 1892 – 1962. Arthur Compton discovered that light can behave as a particle as well as a wave, and he coined the word photon to describe this newly identified particle of light. Compton's discovery was one of the pivotal revelations that led physicists to conclude that objects once thought to be particles can behave
