Abstract
Dynamics of a particle in the plane electromagnetic wave is investigated by classical theory. By introducing the uncertainty principle into classical theory it is possible to explain the frequency dependent energy transfer in this interaction. Comparison with quantum theory is made and a very good agreement is found in almost all cases. Classical theory fails to describe a resonant process which occurs at a particular frequency of the electromagnetic plane wave.
