There is obviously a lot of confusion between some of the posters that
need to be corrected
Mention has been made of a bosun' and higgs field as something as
being factual.
In fact it is very contraversal an d is only a theory that has not
been confirmed™
CERN experiments are trying to put something substantial behind this
theory but
nobody really knows the extent of a Higg field and nobody has caught a
bosun'
Feynman with his vectors took the notion that a additional particle
combination
provided mass, this at a time that neutrons were considered without
mass.
Feymans assumption lingers on inspite of the fact that it is now
proven that
neutrinos really do have mass. All of this talk is based around
something
that is not present on this earth, not seen thus not counted just
names
searching for a subject to be tagged upon.
Now we come to the subject of "wave length" as in radiation , the
subject of this post.
Wavelength only has meaning if a radiator only has two degrees of
freedom which means "straight".
But a wavelength can move in many directions and elevations such that
it has a shape of a sphere or worse.
To talk of something of" such and such" a wavelength does not pertain
to a straight line or a three
dimensional shape such as a cube or sphere so the idea of refering to
a wavelength as a linear length
is absolutely meaningles because one is using a three dimensional
object to describe a two dimensional linear dimention.
And for the last one I refer to Newtons law of action and reaction. On
this earth of ours there is no such thing as a single force
which is why Newton refers to "action": If one tries to pull a piece
of caramel apart there is not just one force at play but four fources
since one must include the right angle forces that is "necking" the
caramel at the center. Thus a force cannot exist in a straight line
but must include a rotational force for equilibrium. It is that action
which Newton is referring to and not a single straight vector
The confusion comes about when Newtons laws are paraphrased as a
"force" when it must state an "action"
My posting is clearly placed within the Earth's boundary so talk of
Quarks ,Bosun" Higgs field etc is clearly irrevalent to the subject
of radiation
unless it is a attempt to bait me or to create confusion about the
subject of radiation when its aim should be education and debate.
