👉 The assistant describes "light particles" as fundamental components of light, often referred to in physics and quantum mechanics. These particles, typically called photons, are the quanta of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light. Photons are massless, travel at the speed of light, and exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties. They carry energy and momentum, and their interactions with matter underlie various phenomena such as reflection, refraction, and absorption. In a broader context, the concept of light particles helps explain how light can behave in different ways depending on its interaction with matter, from the macroscopic to the quantum scale.
