Photon waves are oscillating electromagnetic fields that carry energy and momentum. Photons are massless particles that behave like both particles and waves, exhibiting characteristics of both classical waves and quantum particles. They play a crucial role in the interactions of light with matter and are fundamental to the field of quantum mechanics.
What else can I help you with?
Does radio waves have the lowest energy per photon?
No, radio waves have the lowest frequency on the electromagnetic spectrum, but they do not necessarily have the lowest energy per photon. The energy of a photon is determined by its frequency, with higher frequencies corresponding to higher energies. Therefore, photons from higher frequency waves such as gamma rays have higher energy per photon compared to radio waves.
Electromagnetic waves can behave as particle this particle is called?
Photon.
Which is a bundle of energy that can travel through empty space?
Electromagnetic waves or radiation
What are two types of waves that have the highest energy per photon?
Two types of waves that have the highest energy per photon are gamma rays and X-rays. Gamma rays have the highest energy in the electromagnetic spectrum, followed by X-rays.
Which type of electromagnetic wave has less energy than an infrared wave?
Waves with lower frequency: for example radio waves.
Does radio waves have the lowest energy per photon?
No, radio waves have the lowest frequency on the electromagnetic spectrum, but they do not necessarily have the lowest energy per photon. The energy of a photon is determined by its frequency, with higher frequencies corresponding to higher energies. Therefore, photons from higher frequency waves such as gamma rays have higher energy per photon compared to radio waves.
Electromagnetic waves are made of?
Electromagnetic waves carries by the small particles named "Photon".
Electromagnetic waves can behave as particle this particle is called?
Photon.
What form of waves is light carried by?
Light is not carried by waves, it IS as wave an "electromagnetic" wave. Interestingly, it is also a particle, 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.
Which is a bundle of energy that can travel through empty space?
Electromagnetic waves or radiation
What are two types of waves that have the highest energy per photon?
Two types of waves that have the highest energy per photon are gamma rays and X-rays. Gamma rays have the highest energy in the electromagnetic spectrum, followed by X-rays.
What is electormagnetic waves?
The term is "electromagnetic waves". Such waves are variations in the electric and magnetic field of space, which propagate as a wave, at the speed of light. They include light itself, x-rays, radio waves, and others - really, the ONLY difference between the different types of electromagnetic waves are the differences in frequency, and the related differences in wavelength and energy per photon. (The photon is the individual particle of such a wave.)
Which is the lowest possible energy state for a photon?
The lowest possible energy state for a photon is when it has no energy, which corresponds to a frequency of zero.
Are electromagnetic waves deflected by magnetic and electric fields?
According to photon theory ,electromagnetic radiation consists of photon which are changeless particles. therefore they are not deflected by electric or magnetic fields.
Why are radio waves not called radio photons but light waves and X-rays are called X-ray photons?
The problem is commonly known as wave-particle duality. Initially high energy electromagnetic radiation such as Gamma rays and X rays were thought to show more particle like behavior while low energy electromagnetic radiation such as Radio waves & microwaves were thought to show more wave like behavior. Light being in the middle of the spectrum shows a good mixture of both. This was a hot topic of debate in the 1600s and wasn't really explained until Quantum Mechanics introduced probability waves in the 20th Century. Loads of info in Wikipedia link below. == == Quantum theory states that a photon "carries" a certain energy, but realize that a photon's rest mass is zero - therefore it's only a concept. OR the photon IS the energy. The terms are interchangeable, and they're both bogus in reality. All electromagnetic waves can have a photon assigned to them . A photon for an electromagnetic waves is frequency dependent, therefore a photon for electromagnetic waves with low frequency such as radiowaves is rather low in energy as compared to a photon of electromagnetic waves of higher frequency such cosmic ray.
Which type of electromagnetic wave has less energy than an infrared wave?
Waves with lower frequency: for example radio waves.
