DataModelPhoton < IVOA

---+ Photon

An extension (subclass) to [[DataModelWave][Wave]] adding an energy property.

_I don't really want to start modelling components of the universe, so perhaps this could be given a different name. Rather like [[DataModelWave][Wave]] I just want a 'placeholder' that people can use as they see fit (ie, wavelength, frequency or energy).  A different name (Jon's DataModelFravergy ?) might be more appropriate. - MCH_

---++ Interface

   * [[DataModelWave][Wave]] properties
   * Energy : in eV ?

---++ Implementation

A trivial extra method getEnergy() that does the appropriate multiplication from the wavelength/frequency of the [[DataModelWave][Wave]] superclass.
