I'd always kinda wondered what it'd be like to see RF. What would it look like? Pulses of light in different colors, or different strobe rates? Brighter at their source? Would it be blindingly "bright" everywhere we go, or would we be so desensitized of it that we'd barely notice unless we looked directly at an antenna?

If this is supposed to be the wavelength and not the number of photons then you need a space between 2 and meters. There's always a space between numbers and units (even if the unit is abbreviated). There's no space for something that modifies the number, like %, ‰, °, k, m, etcetera.

No its a singular 2 Meters wide photon
