As light interacts as a particle and when being absorbed or emitted by an electron that is done instantaneously, that is, no time between the photons energy not being contained (I’m unsure as to whether or not this is the correct word) within the electron to being contained within it, how does redshift occur since it’s due to relative motion between an emitter and an absorber, since the photon was emitted in a single instant where (presumably) no motion can occur?
There’s likely a very simple answer due to a flaw in my reasoning, I’m as yet unable to find it though
