Let's say for just the sodium yellow line. What would the width of a
single photon and what is its length?
I've tried doing a search and the amount of waffle is staggering. There
must be a straight and simple answer to this. Surely, somebody knows.
A photon is a quantum of energy. In lifting a heavy object off the floor and placing it upon the table you do some work, expend some energy. The
object then has the quantity of energy you out into it and can fall on your
toe and break it. Nobody can tell you how wide or what length that energy is.
Mathematical we say E = 1/2mv^2 which depends on the mass and the
velocity, but not the width or length.
Go to the store and buy a 9V battery. Put the terminals on your
tongue, you'll detect a slight tingle. How thick is a tingle?
How long does a banana taste?
What does a metre smell like?
How many tonnes does an apple hear?
How wide is a voltage?
How long is a magnetic field?
It's not a matter of waffling, it's just that your question
has no meaning. That's the straight and simple answer.
