Do photons bounce off after they hit each other or they just pass through one and another?

They do not repel or bounce off each other.ryanuser said:So neutrons have no charge, so they also don't hit each other?
ryanuser said:Sorry I am just clarifying, so they move into each other then carry their path?
If yes, is it still matter when they move into each other like ghost.( as long as matter is an object where it gets bounced if it hits other particle).

Maui said:Yes, his example wasn't the best one to compare composite particles interactions when he talked about photons.
Photon collisions occur when two photons, or particles of light, interact with each other. This can happen when they come into contact or pass close enough to each other.
No, photons do not bounce off each other during collisions. Instead, they either pass through each other or interact briefly and then continue on their original paths.
Photons do not have an electric charge, which is what causes particles to repel or attract each other. Therefore, they do not experience the same type of interaction as charged particles do.
Yes, under certain conditions, photon collisions can produce new particles such as electron-positron pairs. This is known as pair production and is an important phenomenon in quantum physics.
Photon collisions are studied using high-energy particle accelerators, such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). By colliding photons at extremely high speeds, scientists can observe the resulting interactions and learn more about the fundamental properties of particles and the laws of physics.
