Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

The electromagnetic spectrum exhibits discrete energy levels and photon states when treated under quantum electrodynamics.

The analysis

The retrieved literature consistently supports the quantum-mechanical treatment and discretization of electromagnetic fields (e.g., through photon states and quantized cavity fields).
