Timeline for In Rayleigh scattering, does a light wave cause the electrons (themselves), in a particle, to move at the same frequency as the incoming light?

| Feb 22, 2016 at 14:55 | comment | added | Bruce Lee | @garyp but the frequency should be changed if the system is damped... | |
| Feb 22, 2016 at 14:52 | comment | added | Mikael Kuisma | @BruceLee Yes, it does. Using your model system, it moves at the same frequency because it is a linear and driven oscillator. | |
| Feb 22, 2016 at 14:52 | comment | added | garyp | @BruceLee No, it does oscillate at exactly the same frequency. Same goes for the damped harmonic oscillator that you use as a model. | |
| Feb 22, 2016 at 14:46 | comment | added | Bruce Lee | no it doesn't move at exactly the same frequency.. you can model the electron as a forced damped (or undamped) harmonic oscillator to get an idea of the frequency of oscillation (as well as the amplitude).... | |
