Hi,
Ok so this formula E = h*c/λ gives the energy of a "photon". To
simplify that formula, it could be thought of as E = amplitude /
wavelength, with the h constant scaling the amplitude correctly, and the
c constant scaling the wavelength constant correctly.
One interesting thing from this formula is it apparently shows that all
"photons" aka electromagnetic waves resulting from electron orbital
emissions, have the same amplitude! So this must mean that all electron
orbital emissions and absorptions (which are frequency keyed) must all
emit or absorb electromagnetic waves with the same fixed amplitude,
regardless what the orbital number is. I find that to be quite amazing
and hard to understand why that would occur.
cheers,
Jamie
