👉 Light particles, also known as photons, are fundamental quanta of electromagnetic radiation. They are massless, point-like particles that travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, approximately 299,792 kilometers per second. Photons are the primary carriers of the electromagnetic force, responsible for interactions between charged particles and phenomena such as reflection, refraction, and absorption of light. Unlike matter particles, photons do not have an intrinsic mass and interact only through electromagnetic forces. This unique property makes them crucial in various scientific fields, including quantum mechanics, optics, and astrophysics, where they play a central role in understanding the behavior of light and its interactions with matter.
