By classical theory, when an electromagnetic wave is scattered off atoms, the wavelength of the scattered radiation is expected to be the same as the wavelength of the incident radiation. Contrary to this prediction of classical physics, observations show that when X-rays are scattered off some materials, such as graphite, the scattered X-rays have different wavelengths from the wavele

Now, if the bowling ball has radius R, and we ignore the radius of the tiny marbles, the number of marbles that strike the bowling ball and are scattered is clearly πR2n per second.
