👉 Light particles, often conceptualized within the framework of quantum mechanics and theoretical physics, are hypothetical entities that represent the fundamental nature of light. Unlike classical particles, which have definite positions and momenta, light particles (photons) are described as massless, point-like entities that carry energy and momentum. These particles are the quanta of the electromagnetic field, meaning they are the smallest units that can exist as electromagnetic waves, such as light. Photons are responsible for phenomena like reflection, refraction, and absorption, and they travel at the speed of light in a vacuum. In theoretical models, particularly in quantum field theory, light particles interact with matter and other photons, exhibiting both wave-like and particle-like behaviors—a duality that is central to understanding quantum electrodynamics (QED).
