I agree there.
I hope that I didn't suggest that it would. The point of the post on AM, was to point out that MODULATING the AMPLITUDE downward to give lower "photon" counts, is just SUPERPOSING a "sideband" low frequency over the fundamental frequency of the laser. This "pulse" of "1 photon per second" says nothing about the Energy present in the wave.
The Energy present, at any time during this experiment, is expressed by E=hf ; the "pulse" Energy is not the frequency that the laser is emitting, so it CAN NOT measure the Energy present. Once again, our way of measuring, both "creates" and IGNORES the "dark Energy". What does E equal when the pulse is NOT present?
Frequency is a RATE. When this rate is COMPARED to the constant RATE of the velocity of an EM wave, you get c / f = wavelength = "clicks" of distance. You can't arbitrarily draw a circle, or envelope, around these FIXED lines and claim to have created a "new distance", to the exclusion of the FIXED lines. On the contrary, the FIXED lines, EXPRESSED as a RATIO, can always be "measured" in side the arbitrary "envelope". The RATE of DISTANCE per SECOND, Velocity, compared to the RATE of DISTANCE per CYCLE gives us THE CYCLES PER SECOND answer. You can "cut up" this RATIO however you would like, but you will not change its FUNDAMENTAL value.
MASS and ENERGY both have a roll in Resonance. As an interaction, both are required.
GE suggests that the resonances are ALWAYS present in any cavity, automatically. That is not false. However, if you are sitting in the amphitheater, waiting to "hear something", we know that you won't. The harmonic set of oscillators MUST be present to detect the CHANGES in equilibrium that we exist in.
Each musician in the symphony has access to roughly the same few octaves of notes (range of frequencies), and they usually have 4 fingers moving, and CREATING CHANGES to their SIGNALS. Lets say we have 100 musicians, making an average of 3 frequencies each. When your mind "interprets" this data (changing frequencies), it sounds beautiful (for arguments sake, lets AGREE on that).
Who here thinks that these SUPERPOSED frequencies, NOT in any random way, do ALL their "work" when they arrive in your ear? That is, the INTERACTION, that we all agree is happening, happens in your ear. What about anyone else in the room?
The fact is this: these 300~400 frequencies superimpose to create an "overall" change in frequency. It is not complicated, because the NUMBER of NOTES are limited. You will "note" here, that SO ARE OUR FUNDAMENTAL OSCILLATORS. We just have electrons, and their orbitals to contend with, and THEIR SPECTRA can be TOTALLY described and understood from around 2 "octaves" above or below the VISIBLE SPECTRUM.
So, the INTERACTIONS of these waves, MUST HAPPEN on the way to your ears. It is also VERY important to note that, our ears are SLIGHTLY out of tune with each other. THIS IS A BEAT FREQUENCY MODULATOR. Our ears take the signal, create a beat, or RATIO scale, and send the beat frequency (NOT any single oscillation from the orchestra) to the brain.
Do the "acoustics" matter? Of course, the size and shape of the cavity set up CONDITIONS for specific interactions. But you still need music to be played, and heard to understand the fundamental event that is happening when Energy MOVES.
WN?, I will do more to explain the photoelectric effect, later, and elsewhere. You can see where I am going, and how I will do it though.
The mathematics of Resonance are simple enough to be applied to basically anything. The atom has an overall frequency, this has certain harmonics, changes to these harmonics can be measured if frequency. SHG is "clickable" Energy, and its' Beat-frequency is the Fundamental: this means if you hit the harmonic with an equal frequency, the INTERACTION of the beats RE-creates the original frequency. That simple musical (and now optical) fact, describes atomic transitions. IT IS THE REASON WHY for Quantum Mechanics, that they have been seeking from the beginning.
At the other end of the scale, you have the "ionization level", where the harmonic (orbital) can NOT exist with the (now too far out of the Zone) Fundamental. Guess what is in the CENTER frequency position? The "work function", which always "hangs out" at the first harmonic of the NEW Fundamental. This is simple, recursive, Scale Function. Exactly the same reason, and rules that apply to a musician scales.
This measure as a "dip" in the count rate (resistance). The real QUESTION (as usual) is not what QM has asked. Did an "electron" interact with a nearby electron, or did a photon exist in between them? Or did the rule for "ionization" level get broken? (it happened prematurely) Keep in mind this is PRIMARILY a "metallic" phenomenon, with their LOOSE outer electrons. You could begin with a THREE part casmir force (describe a center plate by the forces that exist between the other 2 around it) .
The simple Resonant change: at the ENDS of the reach of interactions (RIZ) a "new force" comes into play. The DISSONANCES begin to ATTRACT each other. This is the other side of Resonance. The frequencies FAR from the Fundamental, DISASSOCIATE with the original Fundamental, and JOIN to form a new one.
This DOES NOT work in REVERSE, unless you BREAK up the "standing wave" resonances. This is conservation of Energy, and simple HEAT per MASS unit flow from Hot to Cold. Stability, equilibrium, etc.
[the "answers" you get from "breaking up"/colliding these are not Fundamental]

Regardless, there are aspects of QM (not necessarily strictly optical) that need to be adequately addressed before you can throw out the QM bath water. To start, could I humbly request your explanation of the photoelectric effect?
