B Planck Length: Upper Limit on Photon Frequency & Momentum
Is it known how much momentum a photon possesses if it's wavelength is at the Planck length, and what happens if it's momentum is somehow increased from that?- negativzero

I How to get plot (optical gain of GaAs)?
How can i calculate this plot (photon energy dependence of the optical gain (or loss = negative gain) of GaAs with the injected carrier density as a parameter? Show calculated plot based on this equation Given parameter: mc=0.067 me; (effective mass of electrons in conduction band) mv=0.48...- yeyintkoko

Frequency dependence of gravitational acceleration
Imagine a massive object emitting photons of various frequencies. Because the object is massive, it will exert gravitational acceleration on those photons. Because the energy of a photon is proportional to its frequency, it seems that higher-frequency photons will experience a higher magnitude...- Dylan H

Why must an electron-positron collision produce gamma rays?
Or, more specifically, what determinates the frequency of the photons emitted by a such a collision. I know that the number of photons produced depends on the spin and energy states of the initial particles.- animagaletix

What is the frequency of virtual photons involved in magnetism?
Greetings, I majored in physics for 1 year at RPI (Troy NY) in 1974, but found more important things to do for many years thereafter, and have recently returned to college, first at ITT-Tech(Computer Electronic Technology) and then Sage College of Albany (Computer Information...- Peter Nordquist

Relation between QED photon frequency and classical EM frequency
Hello, I read the Feynman's QED book, where I learned that a photon has a intrinsic property called frequency. This property affect, for example, the interference profile when we have a lot of photon together. Ok. Now, thinking on an conventional antenna. When we have a 100kHz signal on...- apb86

Photon frequency in different inertial frames
Do we measure different frequencies of light in frames moving relatively at constant velocities? Because when we look at an annihilation reaction from the view of different frames, we see different energies of the reactants which seem to affect the frequency of the produced photons. your kind...- MHD93

Difference between photon frequency and the light frequency?
The frequency of a photon is determined by the energy emitted by an electron when falling from one shell to a lower one divided by Planck's constant. First, how does a single fall of one electron cause a frequency? I would think the electron would have to jiggle up and down to bring about a...- marksesl

Photon frequency boosting materials
I've been reading about fluorescence and I understand how the band-gap accounts for reemission of photons at a longer wavelength. However, can a material store a photon, and then given an external energy source reemit at a shorter wavelength? I'm imagining an electrified "glass" that could...- fractaloop

What is the Frequency in Einstein's Quantum Expression?
Einstein’s discovery that a photon has a finite quantum of energy proportional to its discrete frequency, and the representation of that photon as a wave packet, gives me a problem. E = h ν The photon packet waveform surely must have a beginning and an end? It is probably continuous, etc...- exmarine

What IS happening with photon frequency?
Admittedly, I know nothing about the math in quantum physics But there's something bothering me- what IS oscillating in the photon? Nobody makes it clear. Is it the energy of the photon? But that would mean that the photon has less energy when the wave is at the middle, and more energy when the...- nhmllr

Photon frequency loss over time?
I remember reading an article many years ago that there was a theory that part of the red-shift we observe from far away galaxy's could be do to a time (or distance) related reduction in frequency of light, in addition to the "doppler" effect. Has this theory ever re-surfaced again (it may have...
