OMG , my bad
the word photon isnt even on the page you linked to.
it does say that it uses electromagnetic wave's!!
maybe the word photon is in the wiki microwave article!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave thats odd , theres not much there either!
but it does mention a magnetron.
lets try the wiki magnatron page...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetron my my , this is getting stranger by the moment!
but the page does mention a magnetic field.
lets look on the wiki magnetic field page !
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_field ah ha , there it is.
yep , photons are exchanged in magnetic fields.
Magnetic fields are produced by moving electric charges and the intrinsic magnetic moments of elementary particles associated with a fundamental quantum property, their spin. In special relativity, electric and magnetic fields are two interrelated aspects of a single object, called the electromagnetic tensor; the split of this tensor into electric and magnetic fields depends on the relative velocity of the observer and charge. In quantum physics, the electromagnetic field is quantized and electromagnetic interactions result from the exchange of photons.
I would have figured that you knew that.
so I guess that without photons exchanging none of the stuff
you use in the discussion even comes into play.
yeaaa photons...
How heavy do the atoms get at absolute zero I mean they are absorbing thousands of photons an gaining weight aren't they.
how heavy are they before the laser beam?
how many photons are absorbed before the doppler effect is no longer in play?
how much does a photon weigh?
