You seem to come at the subject from the prospective of a 'radio guy' which resonates perfectly with my prospective as well. When I was a kid (1950s) I did build a crystal radio and used it to listen to the local AM radio station late at night when my parents probably thought I was sleeping. I was always fascinated by the prospect of extracting sounds out of thin air. Now I'm a retired engineer and have been trying to understand the crazy world of quantum mechanics. It did occur to me a long time ago that maybe there is a limit to how much energy you can extract from a EM wave. If a transmitter is radiating 1 watt then the total amount of energy that can be extracted by receivers is the same. Now as a practical matter it doesn't matter much with a radio transmitter, but it probably does with an electron or proton. I would think that any detector in a double slit experiment would use most of the available energy and would, for sure, alter the outcome of the experiment if it is applied at one of the slits. No wonder the interference pattern collapses. It seems that a lot of what I'm seeing on the internet regarding quantum physics is misleading and this had me going off in the wrong direction in my quest for some understanding.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08779007312093580234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5376628436133716219.post-71639646599040228642017-08-09T11:47:06.329-07:002017-08-09T11:47:06.329-07:00Typo: "and antenna"

You only need to partially excite the mode within that band, to an extent of 1% or even less. Then the siphon effect takes over.<br /><br />And don't make the mistake everyone makes of calculating the available energy based on the physical cross-section of the atom. That's not how antennas work, as I explain in the linked article on the Crystal Radio. The effective absorption cross section is actually around a million times greater than the physical cross-section of the atom.Marty Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17624084719249673373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5376628436133716219.post-49373060804199900152015-03-28T15:04:16.078-07:002015-03-28T15:04:16.078-07:00If the energy of the incoming wave is spread out a...If the energy of the incoming wave is spread out and therefore small in the vicinity of the atom it finally interacts with, then how is energy conserved? i.e. where does all of the energy required to make the transition into the conduction band come from if not the incmoing wave?Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02244810658101137268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5376628436133716219.post-52272853220683063372015-01-10T22:44:20.413-08:002015-01-10T22:44:20.413-08:00Isn't this tha same argument made by Lamb and ...Isn't this tha same argument made by Lamb and Sculley in:<br /><br />http://users.unimi.it/aqm/wp-content/uploads/Lamb-1968.pdf<br /><br />Quantum fields can explain the "work" done by photons that (in our mind's eye) push electrons around.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5376628436133716219.post-87042966102359372842015-01-04T20:47:09.626-08:002015-01-04T20:47:09.626-08:00Cartoon:

Like Einstein's theory of the Photoelectric effect, Bohr's formula assumes that during a quantum jump a discrete amount of energy is radiated. However, unlike Einstein, Bohr stuck to the classical Maxwell theory of the electromagnetic field.

I think the circulating charge of constant energy is more like an electromagnet than antenna.<br /><br />I think a circling electron or current is more like an electromagnet. A loop of wire or loops driven by direct current is an electromagnet. <br /><br />With out resistence there is no power loss, no transmition, and no change in energy. Energy is conserverved with out resistance. Static enrgy stored in the magnetic field in steady state. I think 1/2*L*i^2, DC. There is no transmission. If you twist the loop into a figure eight the situation is the same. <br /><br />Conservation of energy and power operate in the steady state, except for resistance. That is an other argument against transmision. And an argument for transmition when an electron changes energy, but not when it does not.<br /><br />I think the transmission idea of a constant circulating charge/current is bunk.<br /><br />(When the current is turn off (not static) the magnetic field collapses and the magnetic field energy is returned in a high voltage spike.)<br /><br />Loop antennas are different than electro-magnets in that they are driven with alternating current (AC), produce EM waves, transmit energy, get energy from the circuit. Static fields can not propagate waves.<br /><br />In conclusion, an electromagnet with ciculating current/charge does not transmit in the steady state. And, enrgy analysis might also give a better picture. This might be a better way to think of it and lead further? I think that transmission theory is a mistake and is contra to emperical evidence.<br /><br />http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/electric/indeng.html#c2<br />http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/electric/engfie.html<br />magnetic dipole moment at same siteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5376628436133716219.post-69254775145822563312014-12-07T07:21:36.765-08:002014-12-07T07:21:36.765-08:00Thanks, UFO.
