How long does it take for energy to get from the core to the surface of the sun?

A photon of light takes about a million years to escape from the Sun. This is because, as the photon makes a random move, it will hit another photon, and move off in another direction. Because of the density, and the amount of other photons, it can take this amount of time to reach the surface of the Sun. Once free of the Sun, the photon is unaffected and can "stream" out at the speed of light to wherever it wants to go.


Does a photon move at the speed of light?

Yes, a photon moves at the speed of light, because photons have no mass.


What type of line does the photon move in?

Spectral line


How photon differ from an inertial particle?

In a vacuum, a photon can ONLY move at the speed of light. A regular particle can ONLY move at speeds less than the speed of light.


The particle of energy that makes up light?

Photon


Where does an electron move after a photon is released?

lower energy level


Which is more energetic a red photon or a blue photon?

The energy of a photon is inversely propotional to its wavelength. The wavelength of a blue photon is less than that of a red photon. That makes the blue photon more energetic. Or how about this? The energy of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency. The frequency of a blue photon is greater than that of a red photon. That makes the blue photon more energetic. The wavelength of a photon is inversely proportional to its frequency. The the longer the wavelength, the lower the frequency. The shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency.


Is there anything which can move at a speed of light?

yes, exemple; photon and electricity


What is the particle of energy that makes up light called?

It is called a Photon.


Can fast neutron and photon have same speed?

No, a photon always moves at the speed of light, and nothing with non-zero mass (which includes neutrons) can move that fast


How would a single photon be converted or transformed over and over again until it makes a wind up toy go?

Simple - it could never happen. An individual photon, no matter how energetic, has enough energy by millions of trillions to move anything like even the smallest toy. from Beano in the UK


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.
