    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...

    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.

    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...

    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?

    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...
