👉 Light particles, often referred to as photons, are fundamental entities that exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties. These particles of light are incredibly small and massless, traveling at an astonishing speed in a vacuum, approximately 299,792 kilometers per second. They are the primary carriers of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. In essence, light particles are discrete packets of energy, each carrying a specific amount of energy proportional to their frequency, as described by Planck's equation. This concept is central to quantum mechanics and underpins our understanding of phenomena such as the photoelectric effect and the behavior of light in various media.
