👉 The ol:light_particles refer to the fundamental units of light, which are photons. Photons are massless, electrically neutral particles that exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties. They are the quanta of electromagnetic radiation, meaning they carry discrete packets of energy proportional to their frequency or wavelength. In essence, light is composed of these tiny, energetic particles that travel at the speed of light in a vacuum. Each photon carries a specific amount of energy, described by the equation E = hf, where E is energy, h is Planck's constant, and f is the frequency of the light. This particle nature of light explains phenomena such as the photoelectric effect and underpins much of modern physics, including quantum mechanics and optics.
