It only gets diffused through the system at resonce 6 Hz in IG space. Otherwise it is contained within a very small number of electrons - as in atom.
An atom where each electron was ~1 meter apart? Anyway, the energy would be diffused to every electron within the deflected electron's field, regardless of resonance. What is the length of time between absorbtion of the photon and re-emission? That will allow you to calculate a rough estimate of how many electrons have become part of the system.

The electron does not 'reclaim' the energy - the system of electrons emit a new photon, as in an atom.

The system emits the electron? I haven't heard that before. How does that work? Where does the photon then emit from, precisely? How on earth does the system remember what direction to send the photon off in?
