Default Photons?

1. For those who suggest that RF transmissions are made up of
photons, what is the amplitude envelope of each photon, and for how
many cycles does
it exist?


Consider this. Waves and photons exist in visible light at any
frequency. If the frequency is lowered below the visible spectrum all
the way down to say, 1 MHz, at what point do the photons disappear?
Or do they just get weak?


Photons exist in visible light at MANY frequencies where such
frequencies are generated by the transition of an electron to a lower
energy orbit around an atom.

What is the mechanism by which your photons at 1 MHz are created?


Photons are not "created" as such. They (and waves) are merely different
aspects of the same phenomenon. What you look for is what you will
observe. It may well be that, because the photon energy at 1 MHz is
minuscule, there is no practical way of observing them. But that doesn't
mean they don't exist.
