Photons are vibrating so some photon which are moving with a velocity of light and also vibreting in direction of moving light so photon tavell faster than light?

Light waves are made up of electrical waves and magnetic waves that are perpendicular to each other and support each other, they are also perpendicular to the direction the waves are traveling so there are no vibrations in the direction the light travels.

Why are the photons that emerge from the Sun's surface visible-light photons and infrared-light photons rather than gamma-ray photons?
Photons do not come in different types like infared-photons etc. they are just the wavelength that the photons are at and nuclear fusion just happens to emit photons at a particular wavelength
How can electron emit radio photon Really are photons emitted only by electrons jumping from higher to lower energy levels?
The particle-like features of EM radiation at frequencies of radio waves are almost non-existent. It is far more useful to view such radiation as a vibrating EM-field instead of a photon of almost no energy. When doing so, you can see how a EM wave would result from electrons vibrating back and forth at at set frequency. By setting up an electronic oscillator that has a resonance at a radio wave frequency, you will get electrons vibrating at that frequency; and, from that, an EM wave of that frequency. > are photons emitted only by electrons jumping from higher to lower energy levels? No, there are many other ways to accomplish this.
Is it true that gamma rays travel with constant velocity?
Yes. Gamma Rays are photons (like visible light, just at another part of the electromagnetic spectrum). They travel with constant velocity at the speed of light (only in a vacuum). Although the original speed of the gamma ray varies.
What is the effect of absorbing photons of energy on ozone?
Photons are absorbed by ozone. These photons are of UV.
What units are photons in?
Photons are in action units joule-seconds.
Do the photons that escape a quasar ever reach hyper velocity?
I am not sure what you mean with "hyper velocity". In a vacuum, photons basically travel at a single speed, known as the "speed of light".
What happens when photons collide?
when two photons collide:- 1.a new photon gets formed 2.its direction will be different from that of the two photons. 3.the energy of the photon will remain the same
What has particles that vibrates at right angles to the direction of the wave?
Photons oscillate (vibrate) along an axis that is perpendicular to the direction of the photon's travel. Photons are responsible for all electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, invisible light (infrared and ultraviolet), X-rays, radio waves, and magnetic waves. . When all photons in a beam of light oscillate in same direction, that is called polarized light.
Which is not the property of photon?
Photons are known to be chargeless massless... However, since they travell with reletivistic velocity, they gain mass.
How are photons with the correct direction selected?
Mirrors on either end select the proper direction -one is 100% reflecting -one is partially transparent.
Exactly what do vibrating electrons emit?
Classical they will emit electromagnetic waves (light and radio waves). Quantum effects might limit this since if the electrons are in the ground state (or all lower states are occupied) they can not emit any photons (quanta of electromagnetic waves).
Why do stationary or massless photons interact with gravity?
Intense gravitational waves shock the velocity of massless objects including photons or any other electromagnetic radiation carriers, and this is linked to Einstein's general theory of relativity and the gravitational lensing effect dictated by larger objects around which light velocity vector bends but its value remains invariant.
How are wavelength frequency and energy are related?
Energy of light photons is related to frequency as Energy = h(Planck's constant)* frequency Frequency = velocity of wave / wavelength So energy = h * velocity of the wave / wavelength
what meant by photon?
A photon is a particle of light. Photons can have a variety of sources, but the most usual source is vibrating electrons. Note that light is both a particle and a wave; these are interchangeable on the sub-atomic scale.
Can any object move with the velocity of light?
No object that has mass when it's just sitting there on the table can move at the speed of light. Photons have zero "rest mass".
What is the speed of photon at rest?
Speed = 0 The definition of "rest" is zero velocity in the observer's frame of reference. However, it's important to point out that photons don't do "at rest."
Why doesn't the black hole have light?
You 'see' things when light (photons) are reflected off a surface, and absorbed by your retina. A black hole's gravitational field is so strong, that the escape velocity exceeds the speed of light. Any photons within a certain radius will be unable to escape. Since no photons are being emitted, the black hole appears black and gives off no light.
