A photon consists of two field components which are perpendicular to
each other....( the electric and magnetic fields)..

begin fields they simply interfere with each other through
superposition...

in the case of a photon hitting an electron..the electron has mass and
the photon has momentum where the momentum arises through the electric
and magnetic field...I can't remember which one?...

hmmm..sorry bout this I am just trying to refresh my mind on this
subject since I just had a unit in OPTICS on it...<GRIN>...

I think I will need to refresh my mind further...<GRIN> before the exams
come up...

someone else in the know will answer anyway...

but before I leave I have another question that I have been pondering..

- What would happen say if an electromagnetic wave's frequency
approached infinity ...and hence it's wavelength approaches zero? in
which case you would have a || situation where the sine wave becomes
'parallel'....What happens in this situation?

- also has anyone ever wondered while apples and such similar fruit
resemble a dipole magnetic field structure?...does this mean that the
core is actually a bar magnet and all the structure of the apple aligns
itself along the lines of magnetic field to produce the overall shape of
the apple?

till later
