It takes billions of coherent photons to resemble a light wave. i) A single photon has a frequency that completes one oscillation over a certain distance. For instance a green photon will complete one cycle every 500 nm as it travels along at the speed of light. For convenience we call that a wavelength but it’s not really a wave. ii) General particles also resemble waves as the accelerated electrons emit billions of coherent photons, which have frequencies completing oscillations in distances we call wavelengths. | |
