Thanks, Bill, yes, I honestly think my logic will have any impact on
someone who is listen to it...

By "photon" bad character and ill-looking appearance,
like the Devil with his tail cut off. ;-)
The Devil can cite Scripture for his purpose.
" The Devil is the Liar and He is the Father of Lie. "
The schizophrenia is inadequate perception of the real.
The purpose of the given article is the proof of an
inaccuracy of representation about a duality of physical
properties of light.
Light is wave process always and in all cases.
The nature, ambient us, consists of quantum microsystems,
therefore any phenomenon can be explain from a point of Plank's
view - quantum microsystems can exchange energy only by quantum
portions. This energy is absorbed and is emited only as
electromagnetic waves.
Photoeffect, Raman and Compton effects and all other phenomena
have physically correct explanation only from the point of Plank's
view.
The classical interpretations of a photoeffect and Compton
effect are error.
These interpretations were offered when there was no quantum
mechanics and radio physics. In that time the principles of operation
of transmitting and receiving devices were poorly clear and known
in detailses. The processes in solid bodies and structure of solid
bodies in that time were unintelligible. The quantum theory of a
structure of substance (physical chemistry) was not in that time.
But the pceudo-scientific imaginations as the classical
interpretations of a photoeffect and Compton effect on the
basis of a hypothesis of a photon are alive until now. Why?:

Let's approach to this problem on the other hand.
Let's assume, that the process of scattering of electromagnetic
radiation consists of three stages:
1. The first stage will represent process of an absorption of
electromagnetic radiation by a quantum microsystem. It is important
to mark, that at this stage the quantum portion of electromagnetic
radiation will be absorbed, since absorber is the quantum microsystem
(the Plank postulate).
2. The second stage will represent a metastable state.
3. The third stage will represent spontaneous process of
simultaneous emitting by a quantum microsystem of electromagnetic
radiation and electron. It is important to mark, that at this stage
a quantum portion of electromagnetic radiation also will be radiated,
since the radiator is the quantum microsystem (the Plank postulate).
Here we have the non-linear gear of transformation of frequency
of initial radiation by a quantum microsystem.
It is natural, that all participants interacting at the third
stage are subject to conservation laws, i.e. we have almost same
law of angular distribution, which you have indicated, but this
law of angular distribution should be updated with allowance for
of third very massive component representing a quantum microsystem.

Just in this place, the logic error in the orthodox interpretation
of interaction of electromagnetic radiation and substance in the
given individual considered case of the non-linear gear of
transformation of frequency of initial radiation by a quantum
microsystem is hidden.
I shall strengthen my position by adding in this model
of Raman effect.
In a nature completely other gear of scattering is realized
which differs from offered you and refuted in the same moment
by you of inconsistent model of interaction of an electromagnetic
wave and electron.

The hypothesis of a photon is necessary only for explanation
of transmission of E/M energy without existence of medium.
Well now I assume the problem " of free electrons " will arise.
Eric Prebys <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> has run away from a field
of this battle.
He is a good official opponent since he is the expert in the field of
non-linear transformations of frequency of electromagnetic
oscillations.
