Yes, photons are real. They are fundamental particles of light that have no mass, travel at the speed of light, and carry electromagnetic energy. Photons exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties, such as interference and the photoelectric effect.

Do photons have weight?

No, photons do not have weight. Photons are particles, made pure out of energy, which travel at the speed of sound.


Is light a wave, and if so, what are the properties and characteristics that define it as such?

Yes, light is a wave. It exhibits properties such as interference, diffraction, and polarization, which are characteristics of wave behavior. These properties help define light as a wave phenomenon.


What are common in rational and irrational numbers?

They are real numbers, so they share all the properties of real numbers.


Why do the properties of elements of change in a regular way across a period?

Because certain groups have different characteristics, so when you move to a different group the characteristics will be different.


Was feynman wrong in saying light is a particle?

Most likely not. Light is made up of photons, and even photons have mass..Thus light is a particle as particles are mass. But to confuse you, even though light = photons & photons = particle & particle = mass; the photons also act as a wave. Which is rather incredible, because it means that a mass also acts as a wave.


Why photoelectric measurement are so sensitive to the nature of photoelectric surface?

Photoelectric measurements are sensitive to the nature of the photoelectric surface because the surface properties, like work function and reflectivity, directly affect the efficiency of electron emission when photons are absorbed. The surface characteristics influence the energy required for electron liberation, impacting the overall photoelectric effect.


How optical absorption spectra is used to detect the presence of molecular species in a gas?

Basically, each molecule has well defined energy levels (vibrational, rotational, ecc.) which are related to the molecule properties like its mass, its length, its symmetry, its moment of inertia and so on. The excitation (deexcitation) of each one of these levels requires the absorption (emission) of some precise amount of energy which can be provided by photons. So, knowing the physical properties of a molecule allows to know at which energies it can absorb or emit photons (electromagnetic radiation). In this way it is possible to excite a gas with a known intensity of photons, at different energies (spectra), and compare it with the resulting intensity of photons emerging from the gas. Observing the resulting peaks of absorption in a Absorbance vs. Energy diagram allows to determine which molecules species are present in the gas.


What is one mole of photon?

One mole of photons would contain approximately 6.022 x 10^23 photons. This number is known as Avogadro's number and represents the number of particles in one mole of any substance. Each photon carries energy and has characteristics of both particles and waves.


Is there more photons in brighter light?

Yes, brighter light typically means more photons are present because brighter light has a higher intensity, which is measured by the number of photons hitting a given area over time. So, in a brighter light source, there are indeed more photons emitted.


How does one get a job in commercial real estate research?

Researching commercial real estate is usually part of the job of a real estate agent. So if you are a real estate agent you most likely need to be have knowledge of researching commercial properties.


How light can pass through in space?

Light travels in photons which have wave and particle characteristics and so they do not need a medium to travel through. In classical physics, light is illustrated as a type of electromagnetic wave. In modern quantum physics, the electromagnetic field is described by the theory of quantum electrodynamics (QED). In this theory, light is expressed by the fundamental excitations (or quanta) of the electromagnetic field, called photons. In QED, photons are massless particles and thus, according to special relativity, they travel at the speed of light in vacuum.
