Is a photon a wave or a particle? Is it's energy in the frequency or the amplitude? I am using amplitude to describe the energy of a wave, you are using frequency. EDIT: To expand on this further, you are materialists and think light is a particle, a photon. But light is not a particle, it is a wave and it always is a wave, until we measure it. Objectively it is a wave (a probability), subjectively it is a particle (a certainty). What you are measuring is what you measure, so you cannot see the effects of what you are not measuring. Because this radiation is non-ionizing you think it is harmless. That is your folly and not mine. Because you think the energy of the wave lay only in the photon means you can see the energy of the wavelength.

> But light is not a particle, it is a wave and it always is a wave, until we measure it. It's more complicated. Anyway, when the light colide with your skin it counts like a "measurement". Most of the times, the light colides with an electron of your skin and the energy that the electron get's is the same energy that it would get in the photoelectric effect. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoelectric_effect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoelectric_effect > Is it's energy in the frequency or the amplitude? Both. You can calculate the energy using the amplitude, and that energy determines how many photons will you count in a photoelectric experiment. The wavelength determines the energy of each photon. The amplitudes determines the total amount of energy in all photons. > Because this radiation is non-ionizing you think it is harmless. Note that there are two ways in which light can be dangerous, let's call the "cancer" and "cooking". As far as we know, non-ionizing radiation does not cause cancer. You can cook something/someone using non-ionizing radiation but the power of the 5G antenas in not enough where people can go.
