It is really good to see you actually thinking and openly discussing things sensibly.
I would have graded you a B+ for thinking in puting a shockwave infront of the photon you are actually getting on the right wavelength as a pun.
The problem with that explaination and you have already realised it in the discussion above is you need a medium for a shockwave.
So now I want you to think about that and lets consider a solar panel powering a satelitte in space and we need to solve this issue.
We can have an unseen medium in the vacuum of space, energy might not be real or perhaps you have a different solution.
It is important what you think not what I think so feel free to answer openly I assure you evenything you have said so far makes perfect sense to me so continue on.
