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.

Existence of Photon

I think it can be understood the following way: light as a natural phenomena definitely exists, and some aspects of its behaviour can be described as the behaviour of waves on the water surface (such …

Energy of a light wave

I do not understand the expression "measure light as a wave" , it is not possible to measure something as a wave, we can only describe something as a wave. And of course there is an equation for an e …

How does $H^2$ effect on the probability of photon detection?

Lets consider an electromagnetic wave, between two ideal conductive plates. Maxwell's theory predicts appearance of a standing waves(of $\textbf{H}$ and $\textbf{E}$), at that nodes($\textbf{E} = 0$ …
