why do you have to look far in out of date books
while here in this humble ng
i was proving that
hf
IS NOT THE FORMULA OF A 'SINGLE PHOOTN'
IT IS A FORMULA OF A HUGE NUMBER OF REAL SINGLE PHOTONS !!
THAT ARE EMITTED DURING ONE SECOND**
th e photon does not know what is a second !!!
i showed that th e real "single photon'
is emitted during a much sorter time
probably short as the PLANCK TIME'!!!
so the real energy of a single photon is about

exp-73 Joules !!!!!!!
AND YOU CAN GET AS WELL ITS
MASS BY DIVIDING IT BY c^2 !!!
see the thread
'a better new definition of the real single photon'

in that case
NO ONE WILL EVER DETECT
THE 'REAL SINGLE PHOTON '
WITH ANY HUMAN ( DEVISED )EXPERIMENT TOOL !!!
2
th e 'radius' of the Proton will never be found since
THE PROTON IS NOT A SPHERE !!! (:-)
IT IS A LONGISH SHAPE
just as a curious prove
you cant make a sphere from 3 quarks
that is basic geometry!!

but many other reasons why it is not a sphere
***it is a longish shape** WITH POLES -
A FRONT POLE AND A BACK POLE THAT ARE NOT IDENTICAL !!!
