Energy & Electricity in Science : How Is a Photon Produced?

[halloweenjak1]

then is the photon actually created? or released from the atom when the electrons energy changes?

[TheSwamper]

Excellent job! You explained it very well.

I vagly read something about a "heat particle" once, maby it was theoretical.

[TheVeryConfused]

@SASNIGHTCRAWLER I have heard (but I could be wrong) that photons have no mass, so if the previous statement is true then atoms radiating photons or atoms being radiated with photons do not experience a change in mass.

After watching this video, it tells me that there are 2 types of photons. One is residing in the nucleus of an atom and holding the electrons in orbit and the other is either extracted or inserted into an atom.

Thanks for the video! Everyone is trying to understand what exactly a photon is, but no one understands it, not Einstein, not me, no one. But here's what I think. All charged particles are spinning magnetic fields. Therefore the Universe is a magnetic sea. When an electron vibrates, it wiggles the sea, which sends out ripples in the magnetic "fabric" which we see as photons whenever a wave crest passes us. That's my understanding so far.

So.. a photon isn't really a particle? Its just a way to describe how energy is transmitted?

[tommy9882]

it is both particle and wave

[DarkAngelEU]

But that's what confuses me so much bout photons.. If it's a particle, how can it have a wavelike motion and go through all objects? how can some bodies reflect the photons and why can some bodies even emit photons then??? (think of a lightbulb)

[tommy9882]

a wave matter sounds odd right

maybe you can search about matter-wave Waveparticle duality

I am also new to photon

[PdishmonkeyJJ]

yep

[james0music]

excellent thanks

[MattUK2007]

Excellent video, thanks very much for sharing.

This video ought to be titled "Atomic Transitions" or the like. You never actually say how the emission occurs (i.e. the physical process of radiation itself.) You merely are explaining the fact that it happens along with a change in the energy of an atomic electron, but not HOW the emission of a photon happens.

i think i am trying in a mechanical way to ask you is, do high state photons pass thro say ceramics, { non translucent materials} like radiation would, ? or would it require to be carried by light, hence a glass would transfer photons...?

thom in scotland, this is very intresting, my mind is working here, 10 to the dozen. LOL.

[NEON271156]

hi steve, can i ask a question please,would heat transfereing, one place to another,, be able to pass photons, as in a heat exchanger, 1/ is heat made of photons, 2/ is only light photons, disregarding the radiation as thats dangerous....

thom in scotland..... nice video guy.

[janamikro]

Very nice and understandably. Thank you

[freeitunespodcast]

Great video thank you.
