X-rays can bounce off electrons
HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART
When high-frequency radiation hits matter, it does not just get absorbed; it violently ricochets. Compton scattering dictates that an X-ray photon colliding with an electron will bump it away, losing a bit of energy and bouncing off at an angle. It behaves less like an ethereal wave of light and more like an aggressive cue ball smashing into atomic racks.
One discovery leads to another.
