All the while, I thought that an atom only absorbs a photon that precisely corresponds to one of the transition level (resonance), but now I read that the atom will also absorb photon with wavelengths different from the transition level in question.
So, my question is, suppose I have two energy level = E, and the photon has energy 2E, how would the atom actually absorb E amount to the transition and what happens to the other leftover E ?
