Hi guys, I was studying dynamic light scattering experiment and I had a problem! Here's the thing:
I read that in case of weak coupling between x-rays and matter the whole system behaves as a linear system. I knew that linear systems respond to an input signal with an output that has the same frequency. So I would expect the scattered field to have the same frequency of the incident one, but obviously this doesn't happen (otherwise we would have no inelastic scattering). So? What am I missing?
Thanks
