How big is a visible photon?
In this video I discuss the behavior of photons/electromagnetic waves especially the aspect of interference. At the same time, I wanted to set an error straight that was presented in a previous video. The video involved ("Photons in Radio Waves and Visible Light", https://youtu.be/xHrh4iCvO3Y) contained a mis-intepretation of the observed phenomenon. The current video not only exposes the flaw, but presents a better explanation.
0:00 General Intro
0:47 What do others say?
1:21 About wavelength and size
2:10 Interference in light
3:08 Electromagnetic waves and detection
5:25 Things that make you go Hmmm...
7:36 New experiment and setup
10:23 Calculation of single photon level (boring)
11:59 Result of the new experiment
12:41 Discussion of the result
16:29 About "shot noise"
17:16 EM field strength and probability of detection
19:18 So how big is it then?

Thanks to David Nadlinger, I was able to put my finger on what was experimentally wrong with the original experiment . The scientific explanation is actually very mathematical and way more complex: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degree_of_coherence. And although scientifically not very accurate, I tried to present a more intuitive description, based more on the classical description of EM waves rather than trying to explain the second order coherence function.

The "deleted scene" contains a 4 second clip of the movie "Crash Pad" (For preview see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pm0vmm8k0ks) It also contains a short audio clip of "New York City" by the Trammps (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGmIDuraqNQ). I would also like to thank Vicky Pollard for explaining Quantization in more detail.
