30. A plane, monochromatic, linearly polarized electromangetic wave incident
on a free electron will cause the electron to oscillate and
hence to radiate. This process
can be described as scattering of radiation (as described in class).
Find the total cross section for scattering off electrons at rest. This is
known as Thomson scattering and the cross section as the Thomson
cross section.
