Photons

A photon is an elementary particle that is a quantum of the electromagnetic field, including electromagnetic radiation such as light and radio waves. The photon has no electric charge, is generally considered to have zero rest mass, and is a stable particle. Single photons have been shown to travel at the speed of light in vacuum.

This module features laws related to expressing photon energy and momentum in terms of frequency and wavenumber.
