The Size and Energy of a Wave Packet

Authors: Herbert Weidner

After the spin-flip a Hydrogen atom emits a photon, but radio astronomers measure electromagnetic waves at 1420 MHz. How and where is the photon converted into an electro­magnetic wave? Do photons really exist? This question is discussed in great detail with reference to the differences between energy measurement and amplitude measurement. The combination of formulas of Quantum mechanics and the wave theory gives the diameter of a wave packet of circu­larly polarized light. This allows the calculation of the energy loss during the traversal of a thin plasma.
