Because if you fire several photons through two narrow spaces close to each other and you see where they land you'll see interference patterns just like if it were sound or other waves going through two narrow spaces.

The light bearing packet of energy emitted by an electron is called a?

A packet of light energy is called a photon.


What is the difference between a photon of yellow light and a photon of violet light?

A photon of yellow light has lower frequency that a photon of violet light. Remember that light can be considered both as particles (photons) and as waves. So when saying a photon has higher frequencie, its actually the wave part of the light that has a higher frequency.


Does a photon have electrons?

No. A photon is a particle of light. It is massless.


What is the correct term of a light particle?

Photon


Is a photon light a form of electromagnetic radiation?

Yes, a photon of light is a form of electromagnetic radiation.


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.


How does a photon of yellow light and a photon of violet light compare in energy?

A photon of violet light has higher energy than a photon of yellow light. This is because violet light has a higher frequency and shorter wavelength compared to yellow light. The energy of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency, according to the equation E=hf, where E is energy, h is Planck's constant, and f is frequency.


Does a photon move at the speed of light?

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