The question of when an electric field in an antenna becomes a 'wave' aka 'photon' is answered somewhere between 'the antenna' and 'free space'. Not inside the signal generator or the feed line. Nearfield and Farfield play a part in answering the question. Ask Maxwell to have his daemons explain it. -- bz please pardon my infinite ignorance, the set-of-things-I-do-not-know is an infinite set. bz+spr(a)ch100-5.chem.lsu.edu remove ch100-5 to avoid spam trap

Since the location is intrinsically random, all you can hope to find is what causes the statistical distribution to be what it is, but I'm not going to start discussing the philosophy of QM, take that to a particle physics group if you like. >>>>> See neother you nor anyone else really knows anything about the >>>>> relationship >>>>> between photons and generated electric 'waves'.. >>>> >>>>The electric field is defined by the force on a >>>>particle compared to its charge.

It is not vague in the slightest Henry. The definition of the electric field for example is: E = f / q and the definition of force is: f = dp/dt hence E = 1/q * dp/dt so if a stream of similar photons each carrying momentum P hit charge q at a mean rate of r photons per second, the field is: E = rP/q > I don't feel at all enlightened by your reply.

Astronomers didn't 'manufacture' Planck's Law or Kramer's Law or the laws governing hydrostatics or acoustics. The majority of Cepheid modelling is based on laws previously found from other fields and which themselves have been solidly confirmed in the lab and many other areas of science. Cepheid modelling did call into question the early numbers for He++ ionisation and when they were checked it was found that the astronomers were right which further supports the modelling. The bottom line for you though is much simpler, you don't need to worry about building complete acoustic models of the stars. All you need to do is note certain aspects empirically. We know that the radius of the star changes so you need to take that into account in converting luminosity to brightness, and we know the temperature changes so you need to remove the resulting luminosity variation before using your program to fit what remains. You can treat both those curves as empirical and subject to the 'willusion' effect caused by the variable time the light takes to reach us which distorts the orbital phase, but trying to do a fit without taking those factors into account is pointless, they are both much larger than any ballistic effect.
