Does light has mass and takes up space?
Do you know why can't we see a black hole even in the reflection of the light of the near stars? It is because the gravitational pull of a black hole is too much it attracts and traps the Photon particles(particles of light) and does'nt allow it to escape and reach our eyes. We know that Force= Mass*Acceleration.So if the mass of Photon particles is 0 unit, force applied on the Photon particles will be 0 unit, which directly means that no force is applied on the Photon particles. Thus if no force is applied the Photon particles then they will be not attracted towards the black hole. But in reality it is attracted, this suggests that light has mass. And if light has mass it will also take space.
How big is a photon and what is its size compared to other particles?
A photon is a fundamental particle of light with no size or mass. It is much smaller than other particles, such as electrons and protons, which have measurable sizes and masses.
What an example of a photon?
A photon is a fundamental particle of light that carries electromagnetic radiation. It has no mass, travels at the speed of light, and interacts with matter through processes like absorption and emission. An example of a photon is the particles of light emitted by the sun.
How does photon differ from inertial particle?
A photon is said to be "massless", meaning that it has no REST MASS (of course, having energy, it also has an equivalent mass).In a vacuum, a photon can ONLY move at the so-called speed of light (about 300,000 km/second). "Regular" particles can ONLY move at sub-light speed. They can get close to the speed of light, but never quite reach it.
Is a light is a matter?
It is usually considered energy, but it is also made up of particles called photons. Although these photon are particles, their mass is zero. It has been experimentally determined that the mass MUST be less than 10^-51 gm. Since photon have no mass, they cannot be considered matter.
Why the rest mass of photon is zero?
The rest mass of a photon is considered to be zero because photons are massless particles. They travel at the speed of light in a vacuum and do not possess rest mass. This is a fundamental property of photons in the Standard Model of particle physics.
What is light made of?
Light is made up of particles called photons, which have properties of both particles and waves. Photons have no mass and travel at the speed of light. When light interacts with matter, it can be reflected, absorbed, or transmitted.
What is the correct term for particles of light?
a photon
What subatomic particles have a mass of 0?
The photon. This refers to the "rest mass"; since the photon has energy, it also has an associated mass. But the "rest mass" or "invariant mass" is zero.
Is light a photon, or is it composed of other particles as well?
Light is composed of particles called photons.
What is particles of light called?
photon
Does a photon move at the speed of light?
Yes, a photon moves at the speed of light, because photons have no mass.
