Photons are the quanta of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, radio waves, and X-rays.
The dual nature of photons is described by wave-particle duality, a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics.
Solar cells convert sunlight into electricity by capturing photons and freeing electrons in a semiconductor material.
Photons play a crucial role in the field of quantum computing, where quantum bits (qubits) are manipulated using quantum gates.
Fiber optic communication relies on the transmission of data through pulses of light, with each pulse representing a stream of photons.
