Hi All,
I've been recently reading a thread, and a question keeps popping up there. Its not very difficult, it just requires a simple yes or no answer...in a single photon emission, is the energy of the photon distributed evenly on the sphere r=ct, or does this sphere represent the probability of the photon being there, and in fact all the energy of the photon is at one point...i.e. a detector would get all of the energy. Ok not quite yes/no but you get the picture.
I believe in the latter, however I would like to know what others think, thus the poll.
Hopefully this will be short and sweet,
Kcodon
