How long does it take for a photon to travel from the surface of the sun to Earth?

It takes about 8 minutes and 20 seconds for a photon to travel from the surface of the sun to Earth.


How many seconds are needed for a photon to travel 3200 miles?

0.01717822s


Where does a photon get its speed from?

Nowhere. A photon must travel at the speed of light so it starts with that speed when it is created. This is the origin of the theory of special relativity.


What happens when a photon strikes an atom?

well thats a theory i believe that will work with space travel or FTL travel,the photon wil make the electrons go crazy,so crazy that the nucleus either dissolves or becomes negatively charged and just flies away with the electrons orbiting the photon,and make matter travel the speed of light,i like to call this particle a "photom"


is there anything lighter than photon?

No, photons are considered to be massless and travel at the speed of light, making them the lightest known particles.


How would a photon and particle of light travel path differ as it traveled through the different layers of the Sun?

A photon is a particle of light, so they would travel the same path. As a photon travels through the different layers of the Sun, it may experience absorption, scattering, and re-emission by the particles in those layers. The process of absorption and re-emission can cause the photon's path to become randomized.


Which is a bundle of energy that can travel through empty space?

Electromagnetic waves or radiation


Why light posses dual nature?

light travel as a wave but it carries photon which is consider to be a particle.so photon done function as a particle and wave motion made effect as wave.


Why do colors travel different distances in chromatography?

Because photon gravitation differs to the light travel...Ps. future technologies will be used to capture photon gravitation with the precision of laser and crystal mirrors. This helps to accelarate present time or slowdown time captured in mirrors view.


The is the particle that carries radiant energy?

The particle that carries radiant energy is the photon. Photons are elementary particles that travel at the speed of light, carrying energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation. They are responsible for phenomena like light, heat, and other forms of radiant energy.


What is faster than a neutrino?

A photon. Neutrinos have mass and therefore must travel at less than the speed of light. Photons of light travel at the speed of light.


What makes photon move?

Photons move because they are elementary particles that travel at the speed of light in a vacuum. They do not have mass, which allows them to move freely and propagate through space. The energy of a photon determines its movement and wavelength.
