👉 Membership in "light particles" refers to subatomic entities that exhibit properties of both matter and energy, existing at the quantum level. These particles, often considered fundamental building blocks of matter, include electrons, protons, and photons, among others. Unlike macroscopic objects, light particles do not behave strictly as either purely matter or purely energy; instead, they display wave-particle duality, meaning they can exhibit characteristics of both waves and particles. For instance, electrons, typically thought of as particles, can interfere with each other like waves, while photons, which are massless particles of light, can also display wave-like behavior in phenomena such as diffraction. The study of these light particles is crucial in understanding the fundamental forces and interactions that govern the universe, from quantum mechanics to particle physics.
