👉 Holders:Light Particles, often referred to as photons or light particles, are fundamental entities that constitute electromagnetic radiation and play a crucial role in various physical phenomena. These particles are massless and exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties, a concept central to quantum mechanics. Light particles are emitted and absorbed during transitions between energy levels in atoms and molecules, making them essential for processes such as photosynthesis, vision, and the transmission of information through fiber optics. Despite their lack of mass, they possess energy and momentum, which can be described using classical physics equations like Maxwell's equations for electromagnetic fields. In quantum mechanics, light particles are quantized into discrete packets called photons, each carrying a specific amount of energy proportional to its frequency, as described by Planck's equation (E = hν). These particles interact with matter through various mechanisms, including absorption, emission, and scattering, influencing everything from the color we see in the sky to the functioning of solar cells and lasers.
