Study Notes

Photon Basics

A photon is a massless particle that represents a quantum of light or electromagnetic radiation.
The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second (m/s) or 186,282 miles per second (mi/s).

Origin and Classification

The modern photon concept was originated by Albert Einstein.
A photon belongs to the class of particles called bosons, which are a type of subatomic particle that carries forces.

Quantum Mechanics

According to quantum mechanics, a photon exhibits both wave-like and particle-like properties, known as wave-particle duality.
