Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around the creation of photons, specifically how they are produced by atoms when releasing energy. Participants explore various mechanisms and contexts in which photons are generated, as well as the implications of different energy levels of photons.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant asks whether photons are created by atoms when they release energy, suggesting a basic understanding of the process.
  • Another participant confirms that photons are indeed created in this manner but notes that there are multiple ways this can occur, leading to photons of varying energy levels.
  • There is a suggestion for the original poster to conduct further research on the topic before returning with specific questions, indicating a desire for deeper engagement with the material.
  • A later reply appears to express confusion or seeks clarification regarding the information provided by Google, but does not elaborate on specific points.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree that photons are created by atoms releasing energy, but the discussion remains open regarding the various mechanisms and energy levels involved.

Contextual Notes

The discussion does not delve into specific mechanisms or examples of photon creation, and there is a lack of detailed exploration regarding the energy levels of photons mentioned.

How is a Photon being created?I mean not light but photon? Is it created by atom when it realeasing it energy ?

Yes ... but there are a number of ways this occurs and it gives rise to photons of different energy levels

have you actually googled this ? ... How is a Photon being created?

how about doing so, then come back with questions on anything your didn't understand
Provide the links to those places so we can see what you have been reading :smile: Dave
