Does the magnitude of the field wave drop at some fixed shape (like an exponential)?

Is the wavelength fixed? Is it in meters?

Is it the field of a proton made up of multiple frequencies/modes?

Is a proton’s influence on fields extend to all space or is there a point (within the hubble sphere) at which a proton does not influence fields at all?




- Yes, it's fixed. It's also a complicated function.

- A quantum mechanics wave function does not necessarily have a wave length or a frequency. It is a different concept from waves, although classical waves are a consequence of it.

- In QM all particles influence all of space. It is also too small an influence to make any difference.
