Answer 1:

Visible light is modeled under the wave-particle theory in that it exhibits characteristics of both principals. If light is modeled as a particle its individual unit is the photon. However, under the duality of the wave-particle theory photons may be particles, but they do not have mass.

Answer 2:

The Photon has a Zero charge which might imply it is comprised of equal or near equal smaller negative and positive "charges," waves, fields; and this is more apparent provided that Photons have a Spin of 1. If Photons were not comprised of smaller particles, or sub-quanta particles, they would exhibit infinite storing capacity, have a spin of 0, have a single charge, possess zero rest mass, and not be affected by the field of gravity. In other words they would slip right through all baryonic matter much the way dark energy does.

If they were of 0.0 rest mass (that is absolutely no mass) they would be completely undetectable by other baryonic matter organisms such as yourself. Life as we know it would not exist, as electrons would not become excited by the light of stars such as the Sun, thereby making baryonic organisms such plant life unable to live. If they were of absolutely no mass, they would not be stored within material- thus wood fires would not emit light. As soon as they are photosynthesized they would escape the lifeform.

The way to figure out exactly what photons are made of would require smashing them together in direct opposition at cancelling wavelengths, which would remove the wave. Surprisingly, what happens when you smash two photons together is the creation of a positron (positive electron) and electron. And when a positron and electron collide they create two gamma rays. Gamma rays move only at near light speed, thus implying that some aspect of the two photons were lost in the process. If you discover what is lost during this process, then you are the breadwinner. If you can discover what it is, you should be able to use it, manipulate it, and even cancel it out.

Depends on the light:

  • incandescent use tungsten
  • fluorescent use Mercury
  • LEDs typically use aluminum, gallium, arsenic, and phosphorus
  • neon use noble gasses
  • etc.

Light is made up of particles as opposed to elements. Particles and the photons in lights are not atom, and therefore have a different construction.

There are various elements that are found in a light bulb. Some of the elements include the filament, fill gas which is commonly mercury or argon and iodine which is used in halogen bulbs.
