At least to a very (very) good approximation. Experimentally, pretty much all the action takes place right next to (existing) charges. Even then, there pretty much needs to be at least two of them to get the coupling to photons (hence Al saying H2 in place of e or P). Even near particles, notwithstanding the stupid numbers bandied about for the “energy” of the vacuum, the radiative corrections (due to virtual particles jumping about in the vacuum) are miniscule. In probability terms, to first order (usually called zero’th order), the main interaction (a la Maxwell) gives you a probabilty factor of 1/137 for the emitter, 1/137 for the absorber and then the usual geometric effects giving inverse square. The corrections introduce an extra 1/137 squared AND give you evanescent attenuation (exponential attenuation then) and all that to cope with their virtuality etc. Maxwells equations are very (very) under-constrained as they stand. They allow things to go not only in straight lines (our usual conception), but also spheres, disks, cylinders, toroids, bispheres, parallel-plate capacitors (solved by Maxwell, conformally), twisted wave-guides … pretty much a spastic hamburger provided it is conformal and orthonormal so that the definition of div, grad and curl can be achieved at a point. That is all you need. Just as well because that is all you have. You may hope that QED would fix this but this is a vain hope: QED only operates at all very near to the (point) particles it presumes. All the action is in charge-charge inter-actions. That something was emitted and subsequently absorbed in an “event” is a-postiori. One can only say, a-priori, something about the probability (as Hans commented) of such an event occurring over-all. Even a-postiori one can only talk about the possible<a name="_GoBack"></a> paths allowed point-to-point by your world-view – your model.</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:black'>Phased arrays (the sort of thing John M. was talking about) are not just theoretical ideas.

It appears as if you are referring to angular momentum when you say “internally”. I agree that both types of momentum must be conserved and they are independent of each other. When discussing the linear momentum imparted to an atom or microwave antenna, it is possible to ignore angular momentum. The angular momentum can never mask the linear momentum that must be conserved. Similarly, it is possible to ignore linear momentum transfer when discussing angular momentum transfer.</span><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:blue'> </span><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:blue'>A.F.

In a laser oscillator, standing waves are formed because there is propagation in both directions. However, in an laser amplifier the “propagating waves” are only propagating in one direction. Still any one atom is emitting waves in all directions. It is the waves with a backwards component that is imparting momentum to the other atoms. Similarly, the microwave antennas are emitting waves in all directions and it is the backwards propagating components that are imparting momentum to other atoms.</span><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:blue'> </span><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:blue'>However, this does not destroy the main point. It is the phased emission of spherical waves that results in a small component of the spherical wave coherently adding to the other waves. The intensity is amplitude squared which results in the well-defined laser beam or well-defined microwave beam. Therefore, in my view this is an example of the interaction of waves.</span><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:blue'> </span><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:blue'>On a related subject, I do not understand how it is possible to claim that photons only interact with themselves. When two different laser beams are superimposed in a beam splitter, the output beams are amplitude modulated at the beat frequency between the two laser beams. I used to work with laser radar systems and this was a daily occurrence. The two different lasers clearly are generating different photons, yet they interact with each other when they are combined. Even if the two beams from two lasers merely overlap with no beam splitter, the beat signal can be seen if a small detector is inserted into the region where the beams overlap. For greatest signal, the area of a detector must be small enough that it only intercepts one interference fringe. Another alternative is to mask the detector so that it sees multiple fringes but only sees either the even or odd numbered fringes.

I do not remember the exact answer, but the torque momentum that needed to be transferred to the CO molecule to accomplish the angular momentum transfer was about 1,000,000 times greater than the linear momentum transferred if it was assumed that the torque was exerted over the radius of the CO molecule. It only made sense if you assumed an interaction radius equal to an object that was one wavelength in circumference. This is the same area as the interaction cross-section that Chandra mentioned for an atom or molecule to absorption of a photon. </span><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:blue'> </span><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:blue'>I suspect that even linearly polarized photons have a wave structure that carries a specific angular momentum as orbital angular momentum.

class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black'>I would like to introduce a different perspective to the discussion of the interaction of light with a thought experiment. Suppose that we have a billion small microwave antennas randomly distributed in space. The antennas on average are separated by a distance equal to about 10% of the wavelength that they will emit and the size of each antenna is much smaller than a wavelength. A billion of these antennas from a “cloud” about 100 wavelengths in diameter. If each antenna emits randomly, then the total cloud of antennas would emit an incoherent spherical emission pattern. However, if all antennas emit the same frequency and if the phase is properly controlled, then the emitted radiation can form a beam with a divergence angle of about 0.01 radian. Furthermore, the beam can be steered to propagate in any direction with proper phase adjustment. When the emission forms a coherent beam, then the cloud of antennas feels momentum in the opposite direction of the emitted radiation. This momentum would accelerate the cloud of antennas in the recoil direction.</span><span style='font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div></div><div id="yiv1709684791yui_3_16_0_1_1439663606211_10710"><div><div style='margin-bottom:10.0pt'><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black'> </span><span style='font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div></div><div id="yiv1709684791yui_3_16_0_1_1439663606211_10709"><div><div style='margin-bottom:10.0pt'><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black'>The example just given is a simulation of what happens in a laser. Each atom in the excited state can either emit a photon by spontaneous emission or by stimulated emission. When stimulated emission occurs, the emission is still generally spherical, but the phase of emission is coordinated so that part of the spherical emission is coherently added to the beam causing the stimulated emission. The spherical emission of a single atom “interacts” with the other waves to form a collimated beam propagating in a particular direction. The force imparted to the emitting atom is random if the emission is spontaneous or in a particular direction if it is stimulated. </span><span style='font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div></div><div id="yiv1709684791yui_3_16_0_1_1439663606211_10713"><div><div style='margin-bottom:10.0pt'><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black'> </span><span style='font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div></div><div id="yiv1709684791yui_3_16_0_1_1439663606211_10706"><div><div style='margin-bottom:10.0pt'><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black'>In my way of looking at this, this example satisfies a loose definition of interaction of light waves.
