The effect of recoil on the frequency of the spontaneously emitted photons in resonance fluorescence processes is examined. The rate of fluorescence is calculated in the limit of a weak external field. It is found that conservation of energy and linear momentum for the entire scattering process determines the frequency spectrum of the fluorescence. A simple experiment is proposed to measure the frequency shifts due to recoil.
