The carrier frequency is directly related to the energy of the
individual quanta and inversely proportional to the wavelength.

That doesn't conflict with what I said.

'the carrier "frequency" relates to varying photon density' is in
direct conflict with 'the carrier frequency is directly related to the
energy...'.

Of course a beam made of a
million identical photons will be a million times more intense than
a single photon.

The 'density' is proportional to the intensity and, for a single
frequency CW signal, does not vary.

No conflict there...

Bob, what you said did not conmflict with MY statement because it was
not in conflict with it.


Henri, your statement:

'the carrier frequency relates to varying photon density'

is WRONG because the photon density has nothing to do with the energy of
the photons but the energy of the photons is what is related to the carrier
frequency.
