A single cycle of a wave; i.e., from 0 to 2pi. This is my whole point: one way of looking at the quantum nature of electromagnetic waves is that it hints at the graininess of space itself. The wave is getting "sampled" by this grainy space into individual quanta. At 08:12 AM 4/8/2014, Eugene Salamin wrote:
From: Henry Baker <hbaker1@pipeline.com> A single photon of an electromagnetic wave of wavelength lambda has energy E = h*c/lambda.
The energy of a complete wave is computed by multiplying this equation by the wavelength to get:
Total energy = E*lambda = h*c = constant. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- What's a "complete wave"?
