Electron vs Photon: The Photoelectric Effect Explained

cragar · Mar 10, 2009

right but like are the photons inside the matter and then they are released or what am i
missing.

The photon is created from something like a vacuum using energy ? I wish I can answer. Maybe the vacuum is something to be ready to release photons. The vacuum may have a lot of photons and anti-photons.

there are no anti-photons, the photon is its own anti particle.
