Question:
Why are the number of photons not conserved during a collision with an electron
Answer:
Photons are nothing but packets of energy as proposed by Einstein in his photoelectric theory . we know electrons gets exited upon interaction with energy .here when they collide with photons(energy packets) they get exited hence the energy is used thus the number of photons are not conserved upon collision with electrons.
