Are There Really Photons on the Signals from, say, a 20 meter Dipole?


This line from the Hack-A-Day article got me:   "Everything on the electromagnetic spectrum has some properties of both waves and particles, but it’s difficult to imagine a radio wave, for example, behaving like a particle." 

It is indeed difficlut (at least for me!) to imagine this, especially when we think of the operation of that dipole using waves (not particles).  

I really like Jeroen's channel and his approach.   Note him waking up, obviously thinking about this question.  

Thanks Jeroen, and thanks Hack-A-Day!
