👉 Light particles, often referred to as photons or light particles, are fundamental entities that exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties. These particles are the primary carriers of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, ultraviolet light, X-rays, and gamma rays. In essence, light particles are massless and travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, approximately 299,792 kilometers per second. They interact with matter through various processes such as absorption, emission, and scattering, which are crucial in phenomena like photosynthesis, vision, and the operation of optical devices. The term "light particles" is used to emphasize their discrete nature and their role as quanta of electromagnetic energy, a concept central to quantum mechanics.
