Aight, so I have this problem where I think about something and then I understand it, but then instead of stopping thinking and understanding it, I keep thinking and stop understanding it.
Unfortunately then my poor brain is so confruzed that I am unable to backtrack to understanding, and I have to come full circle and get back to understanding it. The good thing about this is that I generally have a better understand of why something is.
So my latest problem has come from EM radiation, and particular it's amplitude.
So AM radio alters the amplitude of the radiation, so it can be altered. I know that the ratio between the amplitude of the E and the B parts is c, but I have confused myself as to what the amplitude is, and how you would change it at the source.
I mean, an electron hops down an energy level and a photon is released. Great. Bigger distance hopped? Higher frequency. Perfect. So, what do you change to change the amplitude?
So, uh, yeah. I googled it, but alas no cigar.
