Which phenomenon did Albert Einstein not understand in Dirac's details?

  • Quantum entanglement

  • Compton effect

  • Superposition

  • Fusion and Fission

Answer

The Compton effect is the scattering of a photon by an electron, which results in a decrease in the energy of the photon. Albert Einstein did not understand the details of the Compton effect, because he believed that the photon was a particle, and he did not think that it could be scattered by an electron.
