Boy, did I get off on the wrong foot. I apologize to the Group for any transgressions I may have committed. I assure all, they were unintended. My only purpose is to glean any knowledge as I can from you folks. My bedside manner is that of (apparently poor) humor, which I assume has been taken...

Newton’s Third Law and the consequence of the Conservation of Momentum. Actually, I should have written, ‘emitted within an angle, somewhere between the radius vector and the momentum vector'. It seemed to me any emission outside this 90 deg area would could vectorally subtract from the vector...

Boy, I hope the last line is not an invitation to leave. I am a simple man who had formal training in electronics, but never was fortunate to pursue University for Physics – my real love. Since my early twenties, I have accumulated quite a library of QED, QCD, Relativity, Classical...

Can someone tell me about photon emission? If an electron bound to a nucleus emits a photon and drops to a lower energy level, in what direction does the photon go? - Does it leave the electron perpendicular to the tangent line of the electon's 'orbit' at the instant of emission - that is...
