👉 Ru:light_particles, often referred to simply as light particles, are fundamental components of quantum electrodynamics (QED), the theory that describes how light and matter interact. These particles, also known as photons, are massless, point-like entities that carry the force of electromagnetic interaction. Unlike other particles in the Standard Model, photons do not experience the strong or weak nuclear forces, making them unique in their simplicity and role in mediating electromagnetic forces between charged particles. Light particles are essential for explaining phenomena such as the emission and absorption of light, the behavior of atoms and molecules, and the propagation of electromagnetic waves. In practical terms, understanding light particles is crucial for technologies like lasers, fiber optics, and solar cells, as well as for advancing our knowledge in physics and chemistry.
