Hi Fellows,
Zbi's response has addressed refs and the technical complexities that arise
when describing
the scattering process on a microscopic QM basis.
I shall tell you why I decided to provide this probabilistic QM
interpretation.
First
Dear Murpholino,
Interaction of waves and matter always involve the particle-wave
duality. Some pocesses are easier described using particles, others by
using the wave concept.
The X-ray photon, or rather the X-ray wavelet, has only a small chance
of hitting atoms in the crystal. We will use
Hello Everybody!
I was trying to make some sense from Bernhard Rupp's book page 251.
I will copy the relevant part...
When photons travel through a crystal, either of two things can happen: (i)
nothing, which happens over 99% of the time; (ii) the electric field vector
induces oscillations in
, but they don’t do too much for the imagination or
mental picture.)

Hello
The answer to your questions depends on the level of understanding of
quantum mechanics. I am sending info where to find the subject discussed
in more details.
Bernhard Rupp's book page 251 necessarily simplifies a rather complex
subject of the photon's interaction with multiple particles.
