The Compton wavelength is a quantum mechanical property of a particle, defined as the wavelength of a photon whose energy is the same as the rest energy of that particle. It was introduced by Arthur Compton in 1923 in his explanation of the scattering of photons by electrons. The standard Compton wavelength λ of a particle of mass m is given by where h is the Planck constant and c is the speed of light.
The corresponding frequency f is given by and the angular frequency ω is given by The CODATA 2018 value for the Compton wavelength of the electron is 2.42631023867(73)×10−12 m. Other particles have different Compton wavelengths.
