Abstract
1. In the classical theory there is no difficulty in treating the effect of radiation damping on the scattering of light by a free electron in so far as it is a result of the conservation of energy. In the non-relativistic approximation the equation of motion of a free electron under the influence of a light wave iswith the periodic solution The total energy radiated per second is thenand the total cross-section(1) isFormula (1) differs from the Thomson formula by the factor 1/(1 +κ2). This factor becomes appreciable for energies ħν ≥ 137mc2.
