How do you make a photon cannon?

To make a Photon Cannon, one must first understand what a photon is. A photon is a light particle, plain and simple. A Photon cannon would be something that shoots out photons, like a strong flashlight or a laser pointer. By combining two mitheral hammers that cost 1610 gold in the game dota on warcraft 3 plus and extra 1200 gold for the recipie and this creates a stygien desolator which is more commonly known as the photon cannon and normally results in gg(good game).


Does visible light have more or less energy than ultraviolet light?

Well, first of all, protons don't make light. I think you mean 'photons'. A photon of ultraviolet light carries more energy than a photon of visible light, because it has a higher frequency / shorter wavelength.


How does light make things visible?

A particle of light, called a photon, travels at the speed of light toward the object. The photon hits an atom, or particle of matter, on the object. The atom absorbs the energy from the light and releases a new frequency of light. Basically, some wavelengths of light are absorbed and some are reflected off. The new photon travels toward your eye, hits your eye, and sends a signal to your brain for processing. FACT: A small portion of the spectrum of light is what we see, the rest of the light surrounding us is in the form of radio waves, microwaves, infrared, ultraviolet, and x-rays.


How long does the sun take to make light?

It takes right around eight minutes for sunlight to reach earth.


What happens when a photon strikes an atom?

well thats a theory i believe that will work with space travel or FTL travel,the photon wil make the electrons go crazy,so crazy that the nucleus either dissolves or becomes negatively charged and just flies away with the electrons orbiting the photon,and make matter travel the speed of light,i like to call this particle a "photom"


How long will it take an electromagnetic wave to travel 700 light years from earth?

Electromagnetic radiation travels at the speed of light, so it would make the journey in 700 years.


Do the earth and moon make their own light and heat?

No. The moon reflects the sun's light and the earth is heated and lite by the sun.


What particles and charges make up a photon?

The photon IS the particle in this case. It isn't known to be made up of any smaller particles. The electric charge of a photon is zero.


Are speed of light and the frequency of light the same?

No, the speed of light is the speed at which a photon (the particles that make light) travels. While frequency is the number of times per a unit of time a wave cycles from peak to peak. Different frequencies produce different colours.


What is Speed of photon?

Photons, our word for the properties of light that make it seem particle-like, are massless and travel about 186,000 miles per hour in a vacuum.


What word does the scrambled letters toopnh make?
