Hi hi, no, not Cheeta... Resnick & Halliday & Krane use "granularity"
metaphor, "granularity" and "texture" are words that denote same idea:
ligth photons are really very big Jerry Lee's "Great balls of fire",
80 m photons are very very tiny balls :>)  For that reason your eyes
catch light photon, they (photons) are fat guys, you know?.
Glanularity is not about "cycles" but quantum energy =3D> hv,
v=3Dfrequency, high frequency =3D> high energy quantum =3D> high
granularity, not cycles

Not "analogies", no, no, I am only comparing energy magnitud
differences! (I am not resigning my rights to analogies, with this),
10^8 more bigger cinetic E represents so much energy difference at any
scale; obviously a light photon has very, very much lower energy as a
1 t (Tm) car at 100 km/h (it has 3.6*10^-19 J) but 80 m photon it is
100000000 lower!, Can you hear 80 dB sounds below mosquito buzzing?
are you the six million dollar man? :>)
You talk about "fluctuations" OK, can you assure to me those
fluctuations are due quantized nature of RF signals? have you
references about that? Naturally I have my doubts, what you say do not
match my sacred Wiley & sons bible physics verses: remember at only 1
K, kt >> hv,  and for R, H & K elders, granularity can not be
perceived.

Well, but stop here, please: I did not say we can not measure 100 W
oscillator granularity, eh?, I am not any authority to say such
thing!, look what the fathers of my church say in page 483:
"Quantized energy simply not reveales in large scale oscillators, the
smallness of the h Plank component make the granulosity very fine
(thin?) so that we can not detect it"
I bet you live a little more near them than I, Ask to them why they
said that. I am innocent, I am only the postman who brings the news
(where is Petrocelli?) :D :D

PS: Cecil, friend, this man this is already yours. Just confessed his
inconditional love for RF quanta...
