摘要
Relations determining the number of photons in an electromagnetic field are considered from the point of view of a classical electromagnetic field. A relativistically invariant expression is obtained for the number of emitted photons in terms of charges and currents producing the electromagnetic field. Examples are considered for calculating the numbers of photons in the electromagnetic field for the case of the electric dipole radiation field, as well as the field of a finite and spatially restricted electromagnetic pulse.
