What else can I help you with?
Does light have weight?
If light is made of photons and photons have mass then you would assume that light has weight in a gravitational field. In fact light running into an object imparts momentum to it. However photons have no rest mass. If they did , objects that were exposed to sunlight and absorbed it would get heavier as time goes on, they don't. So light has no mass and hence no weight.
What is the weight of a shadow?
Because photons have mass, they also have weight. Given the particular size and shape of a shadow at any given instant of time, and comparing the quantity of photons striking the same surface with the same dimensions as the shadow with the photons striking the area of the shadow, the weight of the shadow would be in the negative relative to the area affected by direct light. Using scientific standards for the weight of a photon, the weight of the shadow can be calculated for any portion of time given for the measurements of the examination.
What is the term for the small packets of energy emitted from light?
The term for the small packets of energy emitted from light is called photons.
Particles of light are called?
Photons.
Discrete packages of light energy are called?
photons

Do ultraviolet photons travel at with a greather speed than yellow photons?
No. All photons travel at the speed of light.
Energy of visible light can be measured in organized packets called?
The energy of visible light can be measured in organized packets called photons. These photons have discrete values of energy, meaning there is exact amounts of energy these have, and don't vary in decimal places.
Why are the photons that emerge from the Sun's surface visible-light photons and infrared-light photons rather than gamma-ray photons?
Photons do not come in different types like infared-photons etc. they are just the wavelength that the photons are at and nuclear fusion just happens to emit photons at a particular wavelength
Discrete packages of light energy are called?
photons
Miniscule particles of electromagnetic energy are called .?
photons
Does light weight anything?
Light itself does not have weight because it consists of massless particles called photons. However, when light interacts with matter, like hitting a surface, it can exert pressure that has an impact.
Light is made of elementary particles called what?
Well, they're probably not really particles ... but they're called "photons".
Which type of energy is carried in photons?
Photons carry electromagnetic energy.
