My question seems obvious but nobody is talking about it. The way I understand it, an electromagnetic wave collapses to a particle when observed. This goes for electrons and photons but I imagine the same is true across the EM spectrum.
When I send a wireless transmission and it's observed, some amount of energy within the wave is lost. Does this not imply a limit to the number of observers to my transmission?
Say I have a circumference of observers that are really small. I can fit almost an unlimited number of observers here. Won't there be a limit to the amount of energy the wave can give to the observers? The energy lost during the "collapse" is probably negligible. But theoretically energy is lost when I observe it, right?
