Reply to comment by Seygantte in What does it mean for light to be an excitation in the electromagnetic field? by Ethan-Wakefield
Say I had a beam of photons with a very specific wavelength and I was able to check the position of a particle, would that position be somewhere along a very well defined sine curve? Or is that just a simplification like the nebulous clouds of atomic electron shells were dumbed down to be circular orbits that look cool as sciency logos in the 50s and 60s?
