We calculate absorption of a circularly polarized light beam in a
dielectric in the frame of the standard electrodynamics. A transfer of
energy, momentum, and angular momentum from the beam to the dielectric
is calculated. The calculation shows that the angular momentum flux in

What amplitude does an electromagnetic wave have?  We know the wavelength
relates to how much energy the photon has, but what does the amplitude of
the photon indicate? Is the amplitude the same for all electromegnetic
waves?

Asked this in other forum, but had no response.
Have been working on the captioned subject for a couple of
days, but cannot find my error.  Please can gurus here help me.
There must be an error or two in my math somewhere as the result,
