PHOTONS PER UNIT FREQUENCY INTERVAL WHEN, FOR WHATEVER REASON, RADIATION IS EMITTED, THE OBSERVED FREQUENCY SPECTRUM WILL VERY CLOSELY FOLLOW THE VIRTUAL SPECTRUM AN IMPORTANT ASPECT OF THIS MODEL IS THE CONSIDERATION OF THE TIME OR LENGTH OVER WHICH THE VIRTUAL PHOTON CLOUD IS SHAKEN OFF: THE MORE RAPIDLY THE CLOUD IS REMOVED, THE MORE INTENSE IS THE RADIATION OBSERVED IN THE LABORATORY AS CONCEPT, ONE USES THE SO-CALLED FORMATION TIME OR FORMATION LENGTH THE FORMATION TIME IS DE?NED AS THE TIME AN ELECTRON TRAVELS WHILE ITS RADIATED ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE ADVANCES ONE WAVELENGTH AHEAD OF THE PARTICLE AFTER THE FORMATION TIME HAS ELAPSED, THE WAVE IS A RADIATION WHICH IS NO LONGER TIED TO ITS SOURCE IF THE ELECTRON WOULD RADIATE ALL OF ITS ENERGY, THE CORRESPONDING SPECTRUM WOULD BE DE=D!
