- Title
On the Theory of Elastic Scattering of Electromagnetic Waves by Atoms.
- Authors
Gladkov, S. O.
- Abstract
A Hamiltonian describing the elastic interaction of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) with an atom is obtained using the invariant theory of perturbations in the limit of EMR wavelengths λ significantly exceeding the atom size a[sub 0]. An exact expression for the interaction amplitude is obtained, and the probability of EMR scattering on the atom is calculated. It is established that the scattering probability at large λ is proportional to the squared frequency of monochromatic EMR. It is shown that, in the limit of large wavelengths, the formula h ∼ (ω/c)[sup 4]v[sub 0] for the extinction coefficient is inapplicable and the relation h = Aω² becomes valid, where A is a definite coefficient.
