My physics is only high school level so as I see, in the case of fixed - does the photon not get scattered/reflected or does it pass through the electron? And why no orbital transition?
- ger_in_no 9y agoReflection on the surface of polished metals occurs because of the collective movement of electrons at the surface, caused by the incoming photons. Light of most wavelengths, especially low-energetic infrared doesn't have enough energy to cause orbital transitions in most elements.
