Nope.

Therefore, the wave model must exhibit amplitude modulation to have such a
beginning and end.

Based on a false premise, so a meaningless question.

What is the waveshape of such amplitude modulation?

Based on a false premise, so a meaningless question.

Planck's hv gives a fixed, particular energy for each photon; so how many
complete cycles
does the photon have within its amplitude envelope?

For those who maintain that RF radiation from antennae is composed of
photons, where
does each photon end and the next one begin?

What experimental evidence is there that RF photons exist (it is easy to
show the existence
of continuous waves, of course)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photon

Read the 74 references at the end of the article.

These are pretty fundamental questions raised from the claim of photons and
perhaps the inability
of the photonists to answer them is indicative of their weak and uncertain
knoweldge of the subject area?

There is no such word as "photonists".

You can apply all those arguments to a torch (flashlight), and they will
be equally unhelpful.

Not so, for in that case the light is produced by the action of individual
atomic particles
and you cannot radiate at 1 MHz (from Wayne's example) with a single atom.

Had an MRI scan recently?

Consider this. Waves and photons exist in visible light at any

You are making the same error as the village idiot.

I don't think he is! He is demonstrating by reductio ad absurdum that
the photons *don't* disappear. But thanks for reinforcing what everyone
but Gareth is saying. You didn't really need to insult Gareth in the
course of demonstrating where he is going wrong though, did you?


All EM radiation is the same in its nature. Terms like light and radio
waves are simply labels we have applied to different parts of the EM
spectrum. In part possibly because we didn't realise they were related, I
can't recall the history.

The village idiot's confusion is added to by him trying to mix simple Bohr
models of the atom with more complex ones.

Basically, he is out of his depth, as usual. He is forever trying to mix
'school book' physics with terms he has picked up but doesn't understand.


When people try to help him, he abuses them, sometimes inventing his own
'whacky' theories when he can't understand how this work.



I never mentioned Gareth. If you linked him to the name 'village idiot',
that is down to you.

You wouldn't accept that alibi from an eleven year old; you surely
don't expect us to accept it from you!

(For the avoidance of doubt, I don't think MRI does much at 1MHz, but it
certainly works at RF rather then light frequencies.)

Much like the inside of Gareth's head, I expect.

Wayne left off my second question, which is well illustrated by what is
quoted above ...

2. Are jimp and brian reay one and the same, because both monikers display
the same
incapability of engaging in well-socialised civil conversations, resorting
to infantile abuse,
and both refuse to be drawn whenever challenged on a technical matter?

# Are you attempting to say that both disdain incoherent, word salad babble?

I took that to mean that Gareth doesn't believe that two DIFFERENT people
would disagree with him.

In essence, yes.

He and his chums (the 'usual rejects') frequently claim, if a few people
disagree with them, that they are simply sock puppets- even when there
is no evidence to support this.


Perhaps you will understand why we tend to ignore him, thus far you've
not seen his more disgraceful behaviour.
