The role of nonresonant (NR) corrections in the resonant photon scattering process on the hydrogen atom is discussed. It is shown that the average energy of the emitted photons may not coincide with the average energy of the incident photons defined by the photon source spectral function. The discrepancy is due to the NR corrections and to the interaction with the vacuum.
