    Help understanding light intensity

    Is a photon an EM wave (constant wavelength) with length equal to the speed of light? Can we model a photon like this?

    Help understanding light intensity

    I will explain my way of thinking and tell me where I am wrong. 1) The electromagnetic radiation can be either presented as a wave or a particle. An electromagnetic wave of 600nm, for example, means that there is a wave with each creast abstain 600nm from adjacent crests or a series of photons...

    Help understanding light intensity

    I have a problem understanding the intensity of light. Let's assume a monochromatic light of a single wavelength. The energy of the wave is constant and equal to h* f where h is the Planck's constant and f the frequency of the wave. The intensity of this wave is its energy divided by a given...
