So, i was thinking about this and figured out this: depending on electron orbit and, corespondingly, speed around the nuclei and energy of the photon, if the electron makes full cycle by the time it re-emits that photon the material is reflective - electron is in the same position where it absorbed it, so the photon is emitted in the same side.
If the electron is in the other side of nuclei the photon is emitted in the other side, so the material is transparent. True, false?
2. What exactly happens when photon is absorbed- its energy is transferred to heat/ motion of atoms?
3. Atoms in a material with temperature >0K move around/ vibrate. Why doesn't this make chaos and prevent ,say, transparency by changing the rotation of the atom with the electron, so the electron isn't in where it should be? Or maybe the atom is something like a little gyroscope?
I am new to this forum and started to really be interested in how stuff works and to search up info about ... everything about 2 years ago. (I am 17 now) So don't be too harsh on me, because there is a LOT of things i don't understand and i am just learning... ;)
