Photon Chain Reaction.

Since light is a wave we should conclude that the photon that leaves an object is not the same photon that arrives.  We only know that if one photon leaves then only one photon can arrive.   So there is a chain reaction in which there is a path but it's not necessarily a straight one.    There is a single path though of one to one interactions.    What if a wave consisting of a single photon is actually a chain reaction where a photon interacts with an electron which then interacts with an electron.   The distance between each interaction is the wavelength.  The number of interactions is the frequency.     This makes me wonder though how it would be possible for the interactions to be so perfectly periodic.    Who knows if a photon will encounter an electron at a particular point.  If you substitute the electron for another type of particle say a electric photon.  As if there were a photon for the electric field and a photon for the magnetic field then it would be easier to understand the periodic nature.  Still it might seem unlikely that they would encounter each other at exact intervals.    What seems to happen though is this thing called the right and rule.  (I'm not sure what hand the rule really is right or left.) However I'm thinking this could account for the wave nature (or perhaps polarity).  The right hand rule would send the each particle off at a different angle.  So they encounter each other and they are sent off at right angles.  Then the other field would send the particle in the opposite direction.  This would account for the oscillation or vibration. 
Perhaps the frequency or wavelength is based on how much or at how great an angle this takes place.  The greater the frequency the the greater the angle.  The more energy or perhaps the most speed.   Say the speed of the photon is directly proportional to the angle of the interaction.   The greater the speed the smaller the angle.  This would result in an equation where the result is always C  (the speed of light).

Speed/Angle = Speed of Light.
