Mathman, Excellent! Just the kind of thing I was looking for. I appreciate you taking the time to find the reference. KitK

Mathman, Exactly what I was trying to ask, but note asking it very well :-) Thanks again

Thanks all. Got some clarity on the subject. It help that I refined my search a bit and relearned about arxiv.org. Thanks for the prompting on your blog Zapper

Zapper Z, Clearly it does. Can you address "My poorly composed question was more along the lines of whether thay actually absorb the energy. Of course that may be the case and the "surfing' analogy should go in the wastbasket." ? Thanks for your time. Ill bet you could read minds in a...

Zapper Z I always thought of that more as surfing the wave. My poorly composed question was more along the lines of whether thay actually absorb the energy. Of course that may be the case and the "surfing' analogy should go in the wastbasket. Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply mathman! Can you eleborate on that or point me in a direction to find out more? Does the energy simply go into a change in momentum? Discrete energys absorbed? Many many questions and not sure where to find the answers. Thanks again

Greetings, I was wondering if a fully ionized atom would interact with a photon. Id expect so but can't seem to find any info about it. Thanks! Physics Novice
