The Compton effect is a physics simulation program that helps to understand the problem of electromagnetic waves scattering on free electrons taught in the first years of studies. The application offers the possibility of setting simulation and animation parameters, as well as the function of sheet printing with the set parameters. This option is particularly useful as a help for students.

The latest version of Elektron is theoretically "beta", which means that the program is still being tested and there may be errors in its functioning. According to the vortal policy we do not publish good programs on our pages that are in beta-tests. Exceptionally, however, in this case we depart from this rule due to the stable operation of the program, as well as the fact that the author has not been publishing subsequent versions of the program for a long time.
