We are used to measuring EMR energy as oscillations per second, but how are photons actually produced? what is the average number of pulses of same frequency , for example, the Sun produces of each frequency? does the stream of green light (for example: 530 THz) appear uninterrupted to a sensitive instrument?
Is there any particular reason to consider a photon as the number of oscillations per second? Would it be more 'realistic' to define a green photon by its own wavelength (566 nm) or duration (1.88*10^-15s) ?
