The QM EM fIeld is relativistic from the start because Maxwell's equations are relativistic; i.e., it is a quantum field theory (in... -
TheHutch replied to the thread Undergrad Young's slits with incandescent light source.Many thanks all for your patient replies. I am learning a lot. It does seem that the use of the word 'photon' in different senses has...
