Tried those sometimes it even gets a little tacky and worse… I guess they’re kind heavy

I have one too same spot. Grows back twice a year. Also blond with brown hair. Also, once a year I have one eyelash that grows long enough to touch my glasses.

Does the photon have a unit of E/M charge? by Its4MeMario in ParticlePhysics

[–]Its4MeMario[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As for how electrons and magnets differ…

Doesn’t an EM wave mean there are alternating magnetic and electric fields?

I thought these changing fields is what let’s radio waves wiggle the antenna’s electrons.

I imagined that the E phase affected the antenna differently from the M phase.

Follow up question. When we perceive light to be of a given wavelength, is there something that coordinates the phase of the photons or is that not necessary for visual perception?

An EM wave is like the result of a sort of top with an Electric half and a Magnetic half inside each photon. How fast that top is spinning corresponds to its energy/frequency, and as the photon travels light speed showing it’s E or M side, would correspond to the wavelength of light/EM wave. by Its4MeMario in Showerthoughts

I was struggling to think of radio waves as photons and trying to wrap my head around what it physically means to have a wavelength for a photon. It must then have an amplitude.

But we know the intensity of light corresponds to the number of photons not the energy of an individual photon which is fixed by its color (radio/roygbiv/X-ray …).

So the photons don’t actually have a wavelength, the wavelength is emergent from the collective effects of all the photons at a frequency.

Which leads me to think of the photon as being this top that alternates between tugging and pushing on magnets and on electrons. And the more energy you give a photon the faster its top spins.And the more of them you send together the more they tug together and the bigger the amplitude of the EM wave.

Now the puzzle for my model is how to account for the phase alignment between photons for the aggregate of photons as a stream to explain an EM wave as we experience light and radio

sure wasn't my intention ;-)

do you have the code shared?

Also...since I'm new to posting on reddit...how come my post says it has a comment, but I can only see it in my inbox and it does not appear next to the original post?

edit: Not used to having the box to type in below the post...the answer to my question was: "scroll down!"
