Solution! I will do some reading on photons at zero frequency - a concept that I was never exposed to before, and one that never occurred to me as being possible. Thank you for the answer, chroot. In the meantime, I'm going to load up on caffiene and stare at my fridge magnet. I'll aim...

Um. Thanks. I'm ignorant, not idiotic; I am trying to comprehend, and have not found an answer I can make sense of. (BTW, that doesn't mean the answers are wrong!) I think there are different answers in this thread, and I don't have the knowledge to assess the veracity of any of them. I do...

Confstimigation Remember, I started with "why can't i see the field my fridge magnet emits" :rolleyes:, and I know that E and M are coupled. > Pythagorean said: > Magnetic fields are coupled to ... every electric field ... if you have > a wire that you're feeding voltage with a...

Partial Answer Achieved! Okay - so the photon wavelength in a magnetic field is 17 orders of magnitude too long for human sight. Fair. Follow up: 1. Can the wavelength of a magnetic field be altered or set? 2. If (1), then how? Follow follow up up: 1. Is the strength of a magnetic...

Clarification I understand that EM and M and E are the same thing at a particular level - but so are ice and steam, and they have very different properties on a human scale. A magnetic field does not behave the same way an electircal field does. A red laser pointer's beam is an EM field...

The question is a bit disingenuous. My real question is: How powerful would a magnetic field need to be to emit photons that fall in the visible spectrum - if that even makes sense. I know that magnetic force and electrical force are the same force: electromagnetism is transmitted by photons...
