What do you call tiny particles of solid matter light enough for wind to carry?
Dust particles
What do you call particles of light neutrons protons photons or quarks?
The particles that, when they touch certain cells in our eyes, are interpreted as light are called Photons.
What light is made up of .?
Light is pure energy in the form of what we call Photons.
What particles in an atom are light particles?
Electrons are the lighter particles of an atom. If you are referring to the phenomena of light in electromagnetic radiation the particles are called photons. They are not part of an atom as such but can be emitted or absorbed by atoms under certain circumstances.
Particles of light are called what?
Light particles are called Photons.
Is Light has many of the properties of waves but light can also act as though it is a stream of?
... particles.... particles.... particles.... particles.
What particles of light called?
Light particles are called Photons.
Does light consist of particles?
yes, it consists of light particles
How can light be observed as a wave?
diffraction splits light, it wouldnt split particles but it would split a wave
What do scientist call a light beam?
Light beams are photon particles that can be radiated/emitted in a beam, or concentrated in a stream (also known as a LASER - Light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation.)
Light exhibits characteristics of waves particles both waves and particles neither waves nor particles?
Yes, light has both properties of light, and waves.
Light is made of what kind of particles?
You cannot classify the phase of matter of light. The particles of light are much different than the particles of ordinary matter. At a large level, if we take the measurements, the light is a transverse wave carried by disturbances in an electric field and a magnetic field, each in perpendicular oscillations to each other, and each perpendicular to the travel of the wave. At the smallest level possible, there is a smallest piece of which you could call light. These are called photons. They are also the force carrier particles of electric and magnetic forces. These particles have zero rest mass, but they have an effective mass when in motion at the speed of light
