Discrete packages of light energy are called what?
Discrete packages of light energy are called photons. Photons are also the quanta of all other electromagnetic radiation, not just light.
Are photons difficult to detect?
Generally, photons are very easy to detect. Your eyes do a good job of detecting photons within a certain frequency band, as photons constitute light and other electromagnetic radiation. Individual photons are impossible to detect with modern technology.
Do photons of blue light have more or less energy than photons of red light?
Photons of Blue light have more energy than photons of red light. Ultraviolet have even more, x rays yet more, gamma rays still more, and some cosmic rays still a lot more. Infrared have less, and radio waves have less, and other waves have even less.
What is the electromagnetic force transmitted by?
Electromagnetic force is transmitted by photons. Photons are a particle representing a quantum of light or other electromagnetic radiation. It carries energy proportional to the radiation frequency but has zero rest mass.Ê
When did Theodore Maiman invent the first light bulb?
In 1960, Theodore Maiman invented the laser while working at Hughes Research Laboratory. The laser emitted photons that struck other photons and generated more photons. The set up allowed for a systematic emission of photons, and after gaining ample intensity they formed a consistent beam of light.
How are photons of light different from each other?
They differ in wavelength, E =hf=hc/w.

What do photons?
Light is made up of small pieces called photons. In other words, a photon is a particle of light. Or of electromagnetic radiation in general - it need not be visible light.
What makes light bright?
Because of photons present in the light which have no mass the light we see is bright in nature but in other lights like in UV Rays no photons are found so we can`t see it but the visible light septrum we can able to see as it contain PHOTONS

How are wavelength and frequency and energy related for photons of light?
They are inversely proportional or relationship to each other.

How do colors of light differ from each other?
they differ by the length of the wave. And by the object that they hit.
What makes gold shiny?
Light is composed of very small packages of electromagnetic energy called photons. We are able to see objects because light photons from the sun (or other light source) reflect off of the atoms within the object and some of these reflected photons reach the light sensors in our eyes and we can see the objects. It takes many millions of photons entering our eyes each second for us to view the world. When photons of light hit the atoms within an object three things can happen. First, the photons can bounce back from the atoms in the object; we call this reflection. Second, the photons can pass through an object such as glass and we call them transparent. Three, the photons can be stopped by the atoms within the object and the photon energy is converted to heat; we call this absorption.
Who suggested that light and other form of electromagnetic radiation travels as tiny bundles of energy called light quanta or photons?
