Thanks I'm going to take your advice and do some reading and see if I can understand the mainstream view better. Old school physics pointed out that the rest mass of a photon was zero but as a moving object the photon had an inertial mass. Thanks again, MOM

Thanks. I took a year of college [classical] physics and a couple years of college calculus in the sixties. Later I became an MD. Now I'm retired and trying to understand some of the basics that underly our universe. Somewhere physics took a right turn and took off. I'm trying to catch up...

Could you be more specific and or suggest some sites where I could get more information about E-M fields. thanks, MOM

I really want to thank you all for your help. Sorry! New computer, new operating system,trying to figure out how to get math symbols into e-mail, therefore, head not truly engaged while typing. Frequency= c divided by wavelength. I agree that sound should not be included in this scale...

I looked at [PLAIN]www.physics.nist[/URL] and other similar sites and found the information interesting but overwhelming. As you point out below, others have already formulated these relationships. frequency = c x wavelength. and total kenetic energy of a photon is = h x frequency In a...

In college chemistry I used a reference, tables of standard values for solutions. I was wondering if there was a similar reference, tables of standard values for electromagnetic waves. I am hoping that looking at the table I can get a better mental image of the relationships of wavelength...

I am interested in naturally occurring electromagnetic waves, is there a reference that lists wavelength, frequency, electric and magnetic fields, etc.?
