👉 Light particles, also known as photons, are fundamental components of electromagnetic radiation. These particles are massless and travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, approximately 299,792 kilometers per second. Light particles are the quanta of light energy, meaning they carry discrete packets of energy proportional to their frequency, as described by Planck's equation. They can exist in various forms, including visible light, which is the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation detectable by the human eye, and non-visible forms like ultraviolet, infrared, X-rays, and gamma rays. Photons interact with matter through processes such as absorption, reflection, refraction, and scattering, playing crucial roles in phenomena ranging from photosynthesis to the operation of solar panels and the functioning of optical devices.
