The photon is the quantum of the electromagnetic four-potential, and therefore the massless bosonic particle associated with the electromagnetic force, commonly also called the "particle of light". Use this tag for questions about the quantum-mechanical understanding of light and/or electromagnetic interactions.

What happens to the photon when a polariton forms?
When a photon passes from the vacuum to a medium such as water, a polariton forms in the water which carries the energy from the photon at a slower speed through the medium. The polariton being essent …

Does photon absorption annihilate the associated EM wave instantly?
My Understanding
A single photon has an associated electromagnetic wave. The wave is spread out in space, but the photon is considered a point particle. If the photon is absorbed, the entire wave dis …

Photon explanation of dielectric effects?
When an electromagnetic wave passes through a medium, the electric component of the wave will induce a dipole. I believe this can happen in a number of different ways, including rotating of a polar mo …
