Thermodynamics
A photon is a quantum of electromagnetic radiation, representing the smallest possible packet of light energy. Photons exhibit both particle-like and wave-like properties, making them fundamental to understanding various phenomena in physics, such as the photoelectric effect and quantum mechanics. They are massless and travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, making them essential for interactions in electromagnetism and for mediating electromagnetic forces.
congrats on reading the definition of photon. now let's actually learn it.
