But Bent, the scheelite crystal still emits in all directions in a beam of short wave UV. Even in the direction of the lamp illuminating it. This is the same effect as the radiation of long wave IR by the CO2 molecules in the atmosphere. Your ding dong hypothesis is falsified.
Sorry rocks, but it doesn't emit back along the vectors from the energy source. Do feel free to provide some proof that it does if you like, but I can assure you that no such proof exists because the stone doesn't emit back towards its energy source.
I will qualify that by stating that the stone may emit back towards the light but none of the emissions make it to the light because the emitted EM field is lesser in magnitude than the emission from the energy source. Simple subtraction of vectors is enough to prove what I am saying rocks. Too bad you aren't even bright enough to do that.
