The energy of one "photon" (if it even is meaningful to speak of photons with such long wavelength) would be approximately $1.24\times{}10^{-6}$ electron volts. I think you were right on-target with your observation that it "probably is hard to detect such single photons." In fact, never mind detecting the photon. How will you distinguish it from the background noise at that wavelength? | |
