👉 RF:light_particles refers to the hypothetical particles that might exist as manifestations of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, in certain theoretical frameworks. In these models, light is not just a wave but also composed of discrete packets of energy called photons, which are fundamental light particles. These particles carry energy proportional to the frequency of the light they represent, as described by Planck's equation and Einstein's photoelectric effect. The concept of light particles is particularly relevant in quantum electrodynamics (QED), where it helps explain phenomena such as the photoelectric effect, Compton scattering, and the behavior of light at the quantum level. While not yet directly observed or proven to exist in the same form as matter particles, the idea of light particles offers a bridge between classical electromagnetism and quantum mechanics, suggesting that light's dual nature—wave-like and particle-like—can be understood through these discrete entities.
