You might as well ask how can an Angstrom sized atom emit light with a wavelength thousands of times larger than itself? I think Bill has already covered this pretty extensively in the past. My understanding of this problem is that it's the frequency which is important, not the wavelength. (Though I'm guessing that the size mismatch may influence the power level of the emitter, and thus the time between emission of photons. Perhaps one of our resident EE's can set me straight?)
