Hi,
I am a graphics programmer / animator and would like to play around
and try to visualize an atom. I think I can do better than the run of the mill
spheres or blobs as they are normally portrayed. I have a decent physics
background, I know QED by Richard Feynman by heart, and I have some
math background. I understand that the wavelength of visible light is too
large in order to resolve an atom, but what would theoretically happen
to a high frequency photon when it is scattered by a hydrogen atom ?
Say the photon has a wavelength < 0.01 nanometer. How would you go about
calculating the path of a photon coming from behind an H atom, and onto
your retina ?
Thanks for any insights.
best regards,
Jochem van der Spek
