The light is just
oscillating E and B fields and appear as such until measured.

Can we say this? Is not this also one of the two results of measurement?

Subject: QUANTA


A student asked if one could talk about quanta if an antenna was
broadcasting a frequency in the blue range of the visible spectrum for
example. Would we see it as blue? Would the mechanism for seeing it be
any different from seeing quantized forms of blue light?

I hope my question makes sense but it seems there is a difference here
but I am not sure how to explain it.

Thanks for any help, David Abineri
