Drakkith said:Why wouldn't it be fundamental to the question? I showed that before and after the optical system the results are the same. I am merely putting an optical system in because I am far more familiar with the workings of optics, sensors, and photons than I am waves and energy per area and such. I know we can't treat light as little particles traveling through space, but unless I've gravely misunderstood something I think my explanation works out the same either way. Please correct me if I'm wrong on something.
I like the way you explained it, that's how it naturally comes to me to think about it. I think we understand each other just fine now. And if there is nothing wrong about it, then I'd prefer we stick with photons and pixels. Individual photons can be considered to have wavelength and frequency, I guess, so we could include those concepts as well, and that I believe should then cover the whole subject and explain all the related phenomena.
