I am confused. Hot many photons are to each wave of light? Is there only one, like I thought, or are there many?
A photon is a fundamental particle that makes up all forms of electromagnetic radiation, including light. It has no mass, no electric charge, and is the smallest unit of light. It behaves both as a particle and a wave.
A photon travels at the speed of light, which is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second. It travels in a straight line and can travel through a vacuum or a medium such as air or water.
The energy of a photon is determined by its frequency. The higher the frequency, the higher the energy. This is described by the equation E=hf, where E is energy, h is Planck's constant, and f is frequency.
Photons are the building blocks of light. Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation that is made up of a collection of photons. The color and intensity of light are determined by the number and energy of photons present.
The photoelectric effect is the emission of electrons from a material when it is exposed to light. This phenomenon is explained by the interaction between photons and electrons. When a photon strikes a material, it transfers its energy to an electron, causing it to be emitted from the material.
