    What happens to 'unabsorbed' photons?

    Hi guys, This is probably a basic and therefore stupid question, but hey, I'm new. When a photon hits an atom, it's energy is 'absorbed' and the electron (if we use hydrogen as an example) jumps up an orbit. It then naturally wants to loose this energy to settle back into it's ground state...
