If a photon is not absorbed by an atom during collision, what determines the direction of the reflected photon? Explicitly...
Does the photon reflect off of the valence probability 'shell' by abiding angle of incidence = angle of reflection? This seems counter-intuitive to me because some (most?) of the amplitudes of EMR are larger than some atoms themselves. If not, how is this phenomena carried out?
