OverviewAI-generated

A photon is a particle with a spin quantum number of 1 and an electric charge of 0. It has a mass of 0.000000000000000000001 and a mean lifetime of 1. The particle possesses a charge conjugation quantum number of -1 and a parity quantum number of -1. Its half-life is also recorded as 1.

The concept was discovered or invented in 1923. In academic literature, the term appears in 326,409 PubMed records. It is referenced by 2,045 other encyclopedia articles. The subject is categorized under the Commons category "Photon" and carries the Monte Carlo Particle Number 22.

Fotonen (Oudgrieks: φῶς, phōs, licht) zijn elementaire deeltjes uit het standaardmodel van de deeltjesfysica. Ze hebben geen rustmassa en bewegen zich in vacuüm met de lichtsnelheid voort. Licht, evenals alle andere elektromagnetische straling, bestaat uit fotonen. Het foton is het ijkboson dat de elektromagnetische kracht draagt. Afhankelijk van de gebruikte meetopstelling heeft straling, in feite een vorm van energie, de eigenschappen van golven of van een stroom fotonen. Dit heet de dualiteit van golven en deeltjes. Fotonen worden ook lichtdeeltjes genoemd en worden, in het bijzonder bij gammastraling, met de Griekse letter γ (gamma) aangeduid.
