👉 Light particles, often referred to as photons, are fundamental entities that constitute light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation. These particles are incredibly small, with wavelengths ranging from approximately 380 nanometers (violet) to 700 nanometers (red), depending on their energy. Despite their minuscule size, photons carry a significant amount of energy proportional to their frequency, as described by Planck's equation. They exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties, a concept known as wave-particle duality, which is a cornerstone of quantum mechanics. Photons are electrically neutral and travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, making them essential for various phenomena, including photosynthesis, vision, and communication technologies like fiber optics and lasers.
