RF of some ham frequency composed of electrons emit from an emitter, the
transmitter, and go up the feed line to the aluminum antenna yagi above. I
think the electric energy that travels in the feed line is traveling by
electrons-- I. E. Matter (in traditional physics).
However, when the matter in those electrons flows into the aluminum of the
antenna, the RF energy is emitted in the form of a wave (via quantum
theory),
I want to ask, does the aluminum lose any electrons into some other medium,
like free air, and thus is there some small *wear and tear* on an aluminum
antenna being used for transmission?
In my deep ignorance that is my first question and because I'm on the site,
I decided to add a question below.
Because quantum mechanics tells us that some amount of electrons are
emitted that do go "backward" downward towards the radio which may or may
not be in the form of RF, but if it is--it should be detectable by a
receiver which would have to be receiving at the same time as the
transmission test was being emitted (unfortunate result but manageable).
Further, at an appropriate distance, would some receiver hear both the
transmission and the transmission from the effect of the excitation???
Would the "secondary emission" be near the same frequency as the "primary
RF"--- perhaps you could work stations answering that secondary emission????
Not knowing anything allows me to complain about the idea that a beam of
light is a quanta (quantum) of both "regular" electrons and waving
electrons. That irritates me. And I am waiting for science to help me out.
If I use the pattern of idea development from the previous century, I would
say I have to wait till the end of this century for the good ideas to
become published. Seems like the good ideas over history come out near the
end of a century. Being age 81 now, my prospects are not real good.
Thank you all for helping me and letting me be on this site with my
questions. I need some brotherhood every now and then. Ham radio is the
best way to go.
