Photon frequency Definition and 13 Threads

Is it known how much momentum a photon possesses if it's wavelength is at the Planck length, and what happens if it's momentum is somehow increased from that?

How can i calculate this plot (photon energy dependence of the optical gain (or loss = negative gain) of GaAs with the injected carrier density as a parameter? Show calculated plot based on this equation Given parameter: mc=0.067 me; (effective mass of electrons in conduction band) mv=0.48...

Imagine a massive object emitting photons of various frequencies. Because the object is massive, it will exert gravitational acceleration on those photons. Because the energy of a photon is proportional to its frequency, it seems that higher-frequency photons will experience a higher magnitude...

Or, more specifically, what determinates the frequency of the photons emitted by a such a collision. I know that the number of photons produced depends on the spin and energy states of the initial particles.

Greetings, I majored in physics for 1 year at RPI (Troy NY) in 1974, but found more important things to do for many years thereafter, and have recently returned to college, first at ITT-Tech(Computer Electronic Technology) and then Sage College of Albany (Computer Information...

Hello, I read the Feynman's QED book, where I learned that a photon has a intrinsic property called frequency. This property affect, for example, the interference profile when we have a lot of photon together. Ok. Now, thinking on an conventional antenna. When we have a 100kHz signal on...

Do we measure different frequencies of light in frames moving relatively at constant velocities? Because when we look at an annihilation reaction from the view of different frames, we see different energies of the reactants which seem to affect the frequency of the produced photons. your kind...

The frequency of a photon is determined by the energy emitted by an electron when falling from one shell to a lower one divided by Planck's constant. First, how does a single fall of one electron cause a frequency? I would think the electron would have to jiggle up and down to bring about a...

I've been reading about fluorescence and I understand how the band-gap accounts for reemission of photons at a longer wavelength. However, can a material store a photon, and then given an external energy source reemit at a shorter wavelength? I'm imagining an electrified "glass" that could...

Einstein’s discovery that a photon has a finite quantum of energy proportional to its discrete frequency, and the representation of that photon as a wave packet, gives me a problem. E = h ν The photon packet waveform surely must have a beginning and an end? It is probably continuous, etc...

Homework Statement Show that if atom's recoil in transition is \frac{p^2}{2m}, the emitted photon's frequency changes by a factor of 1-\frac{\Delta E}{2mc^2}. Homework Equations Recoil momentum p = \frac{hf}{c} m = mass of the atom p = momentum of the electron The Attempt at a...

Admittedly, I know nothing about the math in quantum physics But there's something bothering me- what IS oscillating in the photon? Nobody makes it clear. Is it the energy of the photon? But that would mean that the photon has less energy when the wave is at the middle, and more energy when the...

I remember reading an article many years ago that there was a theory that part of the red-shift we observe from far away galaxy's could be do to a time (or distance) related reduction in frequency of light, in addition to the "doppler" effect. Has this theory ever re-surfaced again (it may have...
