Bookmark or Share- Photon - WikipediaA photon (from Ancient Greek φῶς, φωτός (phôs, phōtós) 'light') is an elementary particle that is a quantum of the electromagnetic field, including electromagnetic radiation such as light and radio waves, and the force carrier for the electromagnetic force. Photons are massless particles that always move at the speed of light measured in vacuum.
- What are photons? - Live SciencePhotons are fundamental subatomic particles that carry the electromagnetic force — or, in simpler terms, they are light particles (and so much more). The photon is also the "quantum," or...
- What Is a Photon? Definition and Facts - Science Notes and ProjectsIt is a quantum or packet with no rest mass, yet with momentum. A photon is a packet or quantum of light and the force carrier of the electromagnetic force. It is an elementary particle. Like other elementary particles, photons display properties of both particles and waves.
- What exactly is a photon? Definition, properties, facts - ZME ScienceA photon is the smallest discrete amount or quantum of electromagnetic radiation. It is the basic unit of all light. Photons are always in motion and, in a vacuum, travel at a constant speed to...
- Photon - Definition of Photon, Basic Properties, Applications - BYJU'SPhoton, also known as light quantum, is a minute energy packet of electromagnetic radiation. The idea of photon arose in 1905 from Albert Einstein’s description of the photoelectric effect, in which he suggested the presence of discrete energy packets during the transmission of light.
