To be a bit fussy, the temperature of a photon is not defined. Only a
distribution of photon energies can be defined with a temperature

of course.

Hi Gene,

Fussy is the name of the game here in this forum; and fussy will
ultimately dominate; hence I defer to your amplification. I suggested
a black body model late in the game certainly, and only through
allusion to the frequency of the peak wavelength.

Perhaps Cecil was trying to recall the formula for the temperature of a
single photon. He might be looking for a while.

Ah! Fussiness has been replaced with abundant generosity. Myself, I
consider it misplaced. I would think he could summon up the dominant
wavelength of a Xerox lamp and correlate it to toner responsivity.
