Amplitude-to-Frequency and Visa Versa

Hi:



Please don=92t get upset at me.



I apologize profusely for posting something so similar to yesterday in a different thread. However, you will notice some difference as you read.



Does a device that switches frequency [in number of Hz] with peak-to- peak amplitude [in number of in photon(s)-per-second-per-square-meter] =96 and visa versa -- exist? If not, is it possible to construct one?



In this device, the input of a signal that has a frequency of X Hz and a peak-to-peak amplitude of Y photon[s]-per-second-per-square-meter will result in the output of a signal that has a frequency of Y Hz and a peak-to-peak amplitude of X photon[s]-per-second-per-square-meter.



Note: Despite the use of the word =93photon=94, this device involves frequencies from 0 Hz to 1 THz only. No optical wavelengths.



Photon is the quantum of electromagnetic radiation at any frequency, not necessarily optical frequencies.



Power lines in USA involve 60 Hz photons. 50 Hz photons in Europe. Any electric current that is not pure DC will generate photons of the same frequency it oscillates at.



It's also true that a higher-frequency electric signal will have more watts-per-square-meter than a lower-frequency electric signal with the same amount of photon(s)-per-second-per-square-meter. This is because higher-frequency photons are more energetic than lower-frequency photons.



To generate an electromagnetic signal of a higher-frequency requires more power [for the same amount of photon(s)-per-second-per-square- meter] than a lower-frequency EM signal.


Thanks for your assistance, understanding and cooperation.
