Undergrad How do photons transfer energy?
Hi! So I know about the electron-photon interaction but what about photon-photon interaction? I mean, I do know there is a very small chance for them to interact, but how else do they transfer energy in order to get from Sun to Earth, for example? When it comes to sound waves I get it, for...- Andreea007

Undergrad Defining electromagnetic waves
Yeah I still don't get it. I'm asking you again, how do electromagnetic waves travel through vacuum (void) ? Are there any electrons in the void? Because, if they exists then it means particles exists, and for all we know void is void.- Andreea007

Undergrad Defining electromagnetic waves
I have a question for you. If the electromagnetic waves are made up of accelerated electrons, then what about the vacuum? I mean, the light travels through space, right? Electrons are not massless particles, but there is no mass in the vacuum because there is no substance, so there are no...- Andreea007

Undergrad Defining electromagnetic waves
Can you be a little more specific? What do you mean by electron field? Isn't it the same as electromagnetic field?- Andreea007

Undergrad Defining electromagnetic waves
Hi! So I'm trying to understand electromagnetic waves but I encountered different definitions: one in terms of electrons and one in terms of photons. Which ones are actually used to produce electromagnetic waves and how? Also, I saw that alternating current generates electro magnetic waves, but...- Andreea007
