Homework Statement
do photons have spin ??
Homework Equations
no equations
The Attempt at a Solution
just wondering about the answer :
no it would have spin but never more than i status as i guess
No, photons do not have mass. They are considered to be massless particles.
Spin is a property of particles that describes their intrinsic angular momentum. In the case of photons, spin refers to their polarization, or the direction of their electric and magnetic fields.
The spin of a photon is related to its energy through Planck's constant. Photons with higher energy have a higher spin value.
Yes, photons can have two spin states: spin-up and spin-down. These correspond to the two possible directions of the photon's electric and magnetic fields.
Photon spin is an important concept in quantum mechanics as it is one of the properties that determines how particles interact with each other. It also plays a role in determining the polarization of light and can be used in technologies such as quantum computing and encryption.
