Compton's theory of a corpuscular incident photon assumes
that the light emits as bullets (or billiard balls) that
happen to shoot directly at the target (electrons). But how
come the photons always manage to miss the nucleus of the atom,
or fail to knock electrons from the outside toward the
inside of the atom?
