Emission and absorption processes of photons are discussed for the case in which an electron is scattered by an atom in the presence of an electromagnetic field. The differential cross section for the inverse bremsstrahlung effect is calculated when an electron is scattered by a hydrogen atom. The atom-target is considered as an independent dynamic system. It is shown that this cross section is significantly different from that calculated by considering the atom-target only as the source of an external field. The bremsstrahlung scattering of electrons in the strong field of the resonance frequency is discussed.
