    If photons have no charge then how

    Hello Houlahound, All will become clear with Maxwell's equations. They are... (1) divergence of the electric field = div E = charge density divided by permittivity (2) divergence of the magnetic field = div H = zero (3) curl of the electric field = curl E = -dB/dt = negative rate of change of...

    If photons have no charge then how

    Thanks Houlahound, Introduction: Yes, you will find that physicists often use different "models" to think about the Universe. Quantum Mechanics talks about "Wave-Particle Duality". Matter, (electron included) may behave like a particle or a wave. The photon IS a "thing". It has the following...

    If photons have no charge then how

    Hello Houlahound, Introduction: A photon is a "packet" or quanta of electromagnetic radiation. It is the particle-like description of the electromagnetic wave. Analogy or Example: Imagine a calm body of water with a first beach-ball resting on it. Now imagine dropping (accelerating) a second...
