👉 Burton-Light particles, also known as light atoms or photons, are fundamental particles that constitute light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation. They are considered massless in the context of classical physics but have a non-zero rest mass, as described by Einstein's theory of special relativity. These particles are characterized by their extremely small size and high speed, making them incredibly difficult to detect directly. However, they interact with matter primarily through electromagnetic forces, which allows scientists to infer their presence through phenomena like the photoelectric effect and Compton scattering. Burton-Light particles play a crucial role in various physical processes, from the propagation of light through space to the behavior of atoms and molecules, underpinning much of modern physics and technology.
