if it is so hard for you
let us discus the **photoelectric** effect:

the photoelectic effect shows us two things
NOT JUST ONE THING

1
THAT THE AMOUNT OF ENERGY
THAT PHOTONS CARRY IS
TIME DEPENDENT!
(because it is delivering its energy to the electrons!!)
AND ELECTRONS IN THAT EFFECT FLOW
IN A CONSTANT STREAM THAT IS LINEARLY
PROPORTIONAL TO ELAPSE OF TIME
it can be measured by an Ampermeter
while an ampere meter measures the number of electrons passing as
a function of time!
right ??

2
that above flow of electrons in the photoelectric effect
can be done
(under the same exact start conditions
as in case 1 !!) ---->
IN LESS THAN A SECOND as well !!
(ie the same electron intensity flow
during less then a second as well )!!!
right??

Its not hard for him. He understands

Which proves you wrong about photon energy being dependent on the time a

NO .. it shows just the opposite. The TOTAL amount of energy is
proportional to the number of photons (which is proportional to the time).
That can ONLY be the case if each photon has the SAME energy

So proportional to the NUMBER of photons.

That gives more current when more photons arriving in a given time

It is a current flow .. a rate per unit of time. So with constant light
source, you get constant current. Not an increasing one (ignoring the
effects of circuitry)

Of course ... noone (other than you) has made any claims about photons being
somehow limited to whole seconds.

And none of that prove you right. Indeed .. it proves you wrong

let i t be clear
that i am not going to discuss with the jumping monkey in panic -
disturbed pig ***lier ***
anonymous - inertial

(any one that is following this tread all along from the begining
can see that he changed his 'song'
almost 180 degrees -under* my *pressure )
so
i will discuss only with Ben
hoping he is an honest person ...

MR Ben
we see in my torch light and photoelectric experiment
that
if for instance we take a torch that is emitting
(th e same intensity of led light)
say

in (case 1 ) 0.1 second 1 electrons
and
in (case 2) 0.9 seconds 9 electrons

will you say that it was done :

in case 1 by a 'small photon'

and in case 2 ' 9 times bigger' photon
or may be
case 2 9 times more photons ??

(that' spited their 'big quantum'
to 9 smaller quantum s for each electron"""(:-)
we all agree that the photon energy is
**QUANTUM** CHARACTER D
quantum charactered is n not big quantum and small quantum
isn't that so ??)

(i hope you know the difference between
Quantum and Quanta !!)

and if so
the ** number* of photons EMITTED
by the torch (in our experiment - and their energy carrries by them
and transferred to those electrons !!!!)
is
TIME DEPENDENT
**and not just by one second
but even during
much less than a second !!!

OK, let's consider a single photon.
In special relativity, if a train were travelling at a speed near c ,
it would shrink in length (maybe only in the direction of travel) to
nearly Planck length. That is something special about speed c. A
photon travels at speed c and is also, and necessarily, of size not
more than one Planck length (maybe only in the direction of travel
using this reasoning).

A photon is created at the same instant that an electron moves in the
atom [but surely not every time an electron moves by a Planck length],
and an electron is a point particle ('point' not implying to me
absolute zero size but meaning not more than of Planck length). So
that condition could imply that a photon is less than a Planck length
in size in all directions.

Whereas all electrons are identical, not all photons are identical.
Even though a photon is contained within a Planck cube size, and is
created in an instant, it can have large or small energy. Using
special relativity, you could also imagine shrinking a car or train or
planet to near quantum size in the direction of travel. Travellling
at near speed c shrinks lengths of anything no matter how much energy
it contains. Likewise a single photon, travelling st speed c, can be
of any amount of energy, depending on the conditions in the atom at
the time of its emission (though I don't know much about those
conditions).

Are you thinking of all quanta being identical, like all electrons are
identical? That could explain why you think you need more quanta to
build up to a particular observed energy in a beam of light? Whereas
a single photon can be as energetic as you like.

I am still thinking about whether quanta are truly indivisible after
absorption in the atom as it seems rather pre-darwinian by analogy.
Ie for all quanta to be created long ago and be immutable seems too
constrained? A photon is indivisible during transmission as any
attempt to divide it would destroy the photon. But can a photon be a
collection of different energies, which are an indivisible aggregate
only for so long as it is in the form of a photon.

A photon is emitted instantaneously, but the electron (speed < c) must
take time to find its new place in the atom. As energy is quantised,
how can the electron always and unerringly find a new niche in the
atom at just the correct energy level. It is too late to undo the
emission, if scrabbling to find a niche, as the photon is long gone.
It is a transaction and calculation done at the moment of emission?
Or is it not so difficult for an electron to find a niche of any
required energy level?

Also, the motion of the electron cannot cause the photon to be emitted
as the electron must move many Planck lengths to find its new niche in
the atom, but only one photon is emitted.

firs of all thank you for your interesting analysis
yet


if a train were travelling at a speed near c ,
> it would shrink in length
ddi you ever think that the gamma factor of relativity
DOES NOT AT ALL APPLY TO THE PHOTON CASE ??!!
because of a simpekl thing:
waht is Gamma for the velocity of the photon c !!!???
it is a rhetoric question !!....
in short forget abouit any contaction of photon wave lenght
it can be less wave legths compaired to a moving target
(it the target will run away from the
photon in the velocity c
no wave lenght will hit it !!!
but the wave lenght in its orriginal fram
does not change
AND WE DEAL WITH A PHOTON
IN ITS ORRIGINAL FRAME
no need to complicate things that are
already complicated
we have to doth eopposite
to fry tosimplify things as much as possible
AND THAT ID WHY I SUGGESTED TO YOU
NOT TO DEAL AS FOR NOW
WITHTHE QUESTION ABOUT THE HOW PHOOTN
AS IT IS BORN OR DIE
BUT WITH ENERGY ***EMISION
DURING TIME!!
it makes it much simpler and less speculative !!!

how by being a big or small photon !!!
in thatr casse you get the above mensioned problem of the need
tosplitting that big photon to smaller photons
des it make sense to you ???

a photon with the same **wave length
can be with many energies !

and that is the source of that so vast mistaken paradigm !!!and
conftion !!
between a photon with a constant wave length
and a so called **SINGLE PHOTON !!!
the one with a huge mumber of photons of the same f is not a single
photon
it ios many many photons with the same f
**lasting one second **
not the real smallest single photon

but i am looking for the one
WITH ONLY ONE AMOUNT OF ENERGY!!
that is all the dispute here !!!

by definition the idea of **quantum **
is **not divisible**
or if you like divisible but to smaller ***indivisible units **!!!
that is btw the old Greek Atom idea !!

even if not a collection of differnt photons
a photon that is lasting a long time
that will say collide with a mass will be splited 1
if for instance it will collide with a prism
it will split to many phootns
but we assume in our discussion that
we deal with a monochromatic photon
and even a long monochromatic photon
that is colliding with something
will be splitted

let me disagree with you because
according to me
nothing can be done instantly!!
to do something an zero time donot go hand in hand
but
let us forget about it right now
because both of us can live with that difference without disturbing
us to go
ahead
iow
it is not relevant to my photon energy emission during a tangible
