👉 Antenna-light particles, often referred to as photons, are fundamental components of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light. Photons are massless particles that exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties, a duality central to quantum mechanics. They are the quanta of light, the smallest discrete units of electromagnetic energy, and are responsible for the transmission of information across space through phenomena like photosynthesis, vision, and communication technologies. Each photon carries energy proportional to its frequency, described by Planck's equation \( E = h\nu \), where \( E \) is energy, \( h \) is Planck's constant, and \( \nu \) is the frequency of the light. Antennas, in this context, are not physical structures but rather conceptual tools used to detect, focus, or transmit these photons. In practical applications, such as in optical communication systems, photon detectors act as antennas, capturing and converting the energy of incoming photons into electrical signals, enabling the transmission and reception of data over fiber optics or free space.
