I What are the differences between photon and neutrino oscillations?

[jojoistherealking]

i'm wondering about the differences in oscillations between a photon and neutrino, does a neutrino have a wider probability range (or a greater amplitude for a possible location than does a photon) how do the probability ranges for a photon and a neutrino compare when not looking at wavelength but the height of the wave?

if a photon and neutrino had the same wavelength (like 1/1000meter), it's safe to assume that the neutrino would have a lot more energy right?

thanks

What do you mean by photon oscillation? Unlike neutrinos, there's only one kind of photon.

oscillation was the wrong word, unsurprisingly, i guess i mean differences in the wave

A de-Broglie wavelength of 1mm corresponds to a momentum of 1.2 meV/c, two of the neutrino mass eigenstates are slow at this speed, for the third we don't know. At a given momentum a photon (as every massless particle) has the largest possible energy, so the kinetic energies of the neutrinos would be lower, especially for the heavier types. The total energy (if you include the rest energy for neutrinos) is higher.
