👉 Light particles, or photons, are fundamental quanta of electromagnetic radiation, emerging from the intricate dance of quantum mechanics. These particles are massless and travel at the speed of light, carrying energy and momentum proportional to their frequency. Photons are created through various processes, including the emission from excited atoms or molecules as they return to lower energy states, the scattering of light by charged particles, and during high-energy events like solar flares. In a laboratory setting, they can be generated using lasers, where stimulated emission amplifies light waves, producing coherent photon beams. Photons are essential for light transmission, enabling phenomena such as vision, photosynthesis, and communication technologies. Their behavior is governed by the principles of wave-particle duality, where they exhibit both particle-like and wave-like properties depending on the experimental context.
