Photon matter is a form of energy, not a physical substance.
When matter absorbs a photon, the energy of the matter increases by an amount equal to the energy of the absorbed photon. The frequency and wavelength of the absorbed radiation depend on the energy of the photon and are inversely related - higher energy photons have higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths.
No, a photon is not considered matter because it does not have mass or volume. It is a fundamental particle of light and carries energy.
Photons are fundamental particles of light with properties such as energy, momentum, and polarization. These properties determine how photons behave and interact with matter. For example, the energy of a photon determines its color and intensity, while its momentum affects how it transfers energy to matter. The polarization of a photon influences how it interacts with polarized materials. Overall, the properties of a photon play a crucial role in its behavior and interactions with matter.
Light is absorbed by matter when its energy matches the energy levels of electrons in the atoms or molecules of the material. When a photon of light hits an atom, it can excite an electron to a higher energy level, causing the photon to be absorbed. The absorbed energy is then typically converted into heat or re-emitted as another photon with a longer wavelength.
The transfer of energy that does not require matter is known as radiation. Radiation is the transfer of energy through electromagnetic waves such as light or heat. This type of energy transfer can occur through a vacuum, unlike conduction or convection which require a medium.

No, sound wave is translating wave of the matter. The solar energy is the wave carried by photon which is an energy (non-matter). There is no way a sound wave would be carried in the stream of photon.

When photons (light particles) are absorbed by a substance, the energy of the photon is converted into kinetic energy among the atoms within the substance. As the atomic kinetic energy (motion) within a substance rises, so too does the temperature (thermal energy) of that substance.

The energy of one photon is directly proportional to its frequency. This relationship is described by Planck's equation: E hf, where E is the energy of the photon, h is Planck's constant, and f is the frequency of the photon. The behavior of light, including its interactions with matter and its wave-particle duality, is influenced by the energy of its constituent photons.
No and yes: No: 'substance' is a word like 'matter', so the amount or type of substance is a physical property. When comparing an object with another 'more substantial' object, the 'more substantial' object is more massive or somehow stronger, so mass or strength would be the physical property considered. Yes: Since substance is matter, something with substance has the property of being composed of some kind of matter (an atom) rather than being something else like purely energy (a photon) ... or perhaps thought (an idea).
The color of a photon is determined by its wavelength, which corresponds to its energy. Different colors of light have different wavelengths and energies. The properties and behavior of a photon, such as its speed and interactions with matter, are influenced by its color and energy level.
The energy of a photon is inversely proportional to its wavelength. This means that as the wavelength increases, the energy of the photon decreases. Conversely, as the wavelength decreases, the energy of the photon increases.
A packet of light energy is called a photon.
