What else can I help you with?
When you turn on a flashlight does it experience any force associated with the emission of light?
No, when you turn on a flashlight, the emission of light does not exert a force on the flashlight itself. The light is simply released in the form of photons, which travel in straight lines until they interact with something else.
How do photons travel outward from a light bulb?
Photons travel outward from a light bulb in all directions due to their wave-particle duality. As the light bulb emits electromagnetic radiation, photons are released and propagate in a straight line until they interact with surfaces or particles. The photons then transfer their energy to these surfaces, allowing us to see the light emitted from the bulb.
What is the Difference between electrons and photons?
Photons have no charge, no rest mass and travel at the speed of light throuh a vacuum. Electrons have a charge of -1, have rest mass and are part of atoms.
When light photons are considered to be particles what kind of path do they usually travel?
As particles photons travel in a straight line unless they are diverted by reflection, refraction, or a magnetic or gravitational field. Note that when it comes to gravity it can also be represented that the light continues in a straight line - but the space it travels through is curved so its path appears curved to the outside observer.
Do photons travel forwards or backwards through time?
Photons do not travel through time. This is due to the fact that the faster you travel through space, the slower you travel through time. In other words, if an object is standing still, it is traveling at the speed of light through time, and since a photon travels at the speed of light through space, it is not traveling through time. -- Asker here, I hope no one minds me editing in to expand on the question/answer given. Surely the answer must be more complex. If a photon does not travel through time, then that could potentially violate/invalidate causality.
If you just click a flashlight on and off once do photons decay or travel indefinitly?
The light leaving a flashlight when it is turned on and then off will tend to move in a straight line. The problem is that there is air that the light will have to move through. The air will scatter or even absorb the photons. Eventually all the photons will be scattered and absorbed. If the experiment was conducted in outer space, the photons would travel a great distance as there is little in the way of particles to scatter the photons. Here on earth, the atmosphere would absorb the energy as there is relatively little of it released from the flashlight.
When you turn on a flashlight does it experience any force associated with the emission of light?
No, when you turn on a flashlight, the emission of light does not exert a force on the flashlight itself. The light is simply released in the form of photons, which travel in straight lines until they interact with something else.
How light travels from a flashlight?
In a straight line. At the speed of light.
Do ultraviolet photons travel at with a greather speed than yellow photons?
No. All photons travel at the speed of light.
How do photons travel from a light bulb?
Photons travel outward from a light bulb in all directions.
Photons travel outward from a light bulb in?
Photons travel outward from a light bulb in all directions
Photons travel outward from a light source in?
the photons travel outward from a light source in all directions.
Do higher energy photons travel slower?
No, the speed of light in a vacuum is constant for all photons regardless of their energy. Higher energy photons have a higher frequency and shorter wavelength, but they still travel at the speed of light.
How do photons travel outward from a light bulb?
Photons travel outward from a light bulb in all directions due to their wave-particle duality. As the light bulb emits electromagnetic radiation, photons are released and propagate in a straight line until they interact with surfaces or particles. The photons then transfer their energy to these surfaces, allowing us to see the light emitted from the bulb.
Can you pack a flashlight in a suitcase for air travel?
Yes
Do photons experience time?
Photons do not experience time because they travel at the speed of light, which means time does not pass for them.
What are individual packets of light called?
Individual packets of light are called photons. Photons are the basic unit of light and do not have mass, allowing them to travel at the speed of light.
