some questions that have been bugging me:
1.Is there a beginning and an end to a photon? Does it take different amounts of time for different wavelength photon energies to be absorbed? would for example a radio wave photon be absorbed at a slower rate than a higher energy/frequency gamma photon? made some pictures on paint to help explain
Pictorial representation for lower energy photon here:

Higher energy photon picture representation here:

2.If the dispersion of a photon through space and time leads to less intensity in the emitted photon, would there be gaps in the photon? In other words in gravity free empty space would photons from the exact same origin be picked up in some spatial positions and not others? if so, at what distance from the source of the photon does this start to occur?

thanks ill have more questions later
