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.

How to turn the light stronger than your strength in start
Imagine the following scenario:
I have one lamp, and I would like to turn it stronger, like a strength of 2 lamps.
Can I do it, passing the light (for example) through one crystal or a special glass …

Is possible to control the direction of light colliding to each other?
I read this question, and I thought the following thing:
As photons can collide with each other, can we use photons to control the direction of another photon? … for example:
photon 1 is thrown
when photon 1 is very close to the collision point photon 2 is thrown
Both photons collide to each other and goes to different direction (like pool balls) …

Can a photon move at another speed that's not the speed of light?
I was reading an article about the new collider photon-photon, and the writer says "the scientists accelerate photons in a very high speed". … EDIT:
This is the article about photon-photon collider:

Is possible to use optical fiber to transmit light to streetlights? [closed]
I was thinking about this idea:
Only one lamp, inside a optical fiber structure, transmitting all the light through a lot of optical fiber cables direct to streetlights.
(I guess that the cables wo …
