Hi everyone,
I was wondering (while in the shower of all places) whether photon absorption by an electron is a physical process or a mathematical consequence. That is, does an electron literally "eat up" the photon at the quantum level or is it just some consequence of the math that we give a physical comparison to (by using the word "absorption")?
Thanks in advance.
