👉 Gamma rays and other forms of electromagnetic radiation, often referred to as light particles, are high-energy photons that travel through space or mediums at the speed of light. Unlike conventional particles like electrons or protons, these light particles, or photons, do not have mass but carry energy and momentum. They are fundamental components of electromagnetic radiation, which includes visible light, X-rays, ultraviolet rays, and gamma rays. Photons interact with matter through processes such as absorption, emission, and scattering, playing crucial roles in various natural phenomena and technological applications, from photosynthesis to medical imaging and communication technologies.
