Hello all,
The above quote is the first part of a reponse to a 2005 OP's question about frequency of a photon, and one of the few hints to an answer to one of my own enquiries about the wavelenght of a photon...
I understand that EM waves come in a vast number of frequencies, however I was wondering about the discreteness of the photon as an EM wave packet and namely the number of wavelengths it contains.
Are all photons alike in their composition, do they all have the same amount of wavelengths or is this dependant on some QM property ? if different, what determines the compositions of different wave packets ?
regards,
VE
