Default Minimum photons-per-second [amplitude] required for 150 KHz?

Hi:


What is the minimum amount of photons-per-second needed for a 150 KHz
AM radio carrier wave to transmit audio signals? Around 20,000-photons-
per-second?


The answer is not simple because any given photon only has one
frequency and one energy.

So at any given time, you need some number of photons at different
frequencies to get the frequency components and some number of
photons at each frequency component to the the amplitude components
of the total signal.

Did you get tired of everyone calling you a clueless moron on sci.physics
and sci.physics.electromagnetics and think you would try here?
