A photon is reflected by matter (by an electron in empty space). How long does the reflection take? (i.e. is there any infinitesimal time elapsing during the reflection process?), or more precisely, what is the time difference, the time retardation by the interaction compared to the light velocity in vacuum. A very approximate number would be sufficient for the answer.
