👉 The train-light particles, often referred to as photons, are fundamental elements of light and electromagnetic radiation. These massless particles are the quanta of the electromagnetic field, meaning they carry the energy and momentum of light. Photons are created when charged particles, like electrons, accelerate through space, typically in the presence of electric or magnetic fields. They travel at the speed of light, approximately 299,792 kilometers per second in a vacuum, and exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties, a concept known as wave-particle duality. This dual nature is central to quantum mechanics. Photons are crucial in various phenomena, from the visible light we see to the radiation emitted by stars and the interactions that underpin technologies like fiber optics and solar panels.
