I understand that there are multiple tests proving that electromagnetic waves carry energy through photons, but what causes the electrons to emit both waves and particles? I also don't understand how light is self propelling if anyone could explain that. I know it is related to the creation of magnetic and electrical fields but don't both of those fields require electrons to be spinning? Ontop of that, isn't the energy of light just kinetic energy, and wouldn't that mean that anything with momentum must have mass, implying that photons do intact have mass? Help! (keep in mind I'm only a high school student)
