To be a bit fussy, the temperature of a photon is not defined. Only a

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.

And I assumed we were talking the energy of the photon.

By the way Richard, Wein's Law? We've long since learned that energy
is quantized. E=hv That's how much energy is in a single photon at
frequency v. (At least, that's what Einstein thought.) No fudging
needed!
