[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 296375, member: 12496"] This part is complete nonsense (laughable). Wavelength does NOT swing side to side as apparently imagined. Regardless of any relative dimensions involved, as a wave, wavelength is an energy amplitude variation in time, but traveling more or less directly into the photosite (at right angle to photo site dimensions). Nothing moves sideways, wavelength is instead about how fast it varies (in time). Photosite area captures photons, and smaller photosite areas do capture fewer photons, but result is still representative of the light on it. [/QUOTE]
