You really don't want to answer that question, do you?
You asked about a free electron and I gave you the answer
Nowhere did I say 'free electron'. Stop making things up. Besides, electrons are indistinguishable particles. A free electron can't be a different color from a bound electron. What color is it?
Your classical em must be even rustier than your QED. An incident em wave's electric field causes an electron to accelerate.
For a guy who's so insistent others answer his questions, you're sure slippery about answering other people's. Let me repeat. Why would a stationary electron reflect e.m. waves?
If they are indistinguishable, why did you describe one as a "free electron" and the other as a "bound electron"???
Let me repeat. Why would a stationary electron reflect e.m. waves?
Good grief. I said "a unit step em wave hits a stationary point electron". Stationary, as in not moving, v(t=0) = 0. The whole point of that paragraph was to describe how the electron accelerates in response to the incident wave and how the resulting reflected/scattered wave behaved.
