hi guys i want to ask you about something . Energy can not be made or destruct , but it can TRANSFORM to other energy . my question is can photon transform to other energy ? :zzz:
Increased internal energy. Consider what happens when you sit out in the sun: you get hot.kevinsetiono said:what will be if photon of light destruct ?
i just think if photon is neutral , it can not be affected by electron , i guessBob S said:Here is an extreme case of photon energy transformation. Shoot a laser beam of 1-eV photons headlong into a 1-GeV electron beam (γ=1960). The photon Compton scatters off the electron and back along the same direction as the incident electron. The energy of the backscattered photon is 4γ2·1 eV = 15 MeV.

can you explain why this happen , i just think if neutral charged can not be affected by positive charge or negative oneDrakkith said:Photons easily interact with charged particles including electrons.

The photon is comprised of a transverse E field and an orthogonal transverse H field. It is the transverse E field that interacts with charged particles. At very low energies photons interact with the entire atom, like in Rayleigh scattering of sunlight (blue sky). At higher energies, photons interact with individual electrons, and this is called Thomson scattering. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomson_scattering. At relativistic energies, it is called Compton scattering.kevinsetiono said:can you explain why this happen , i just think if neutral charged can not be affected by positive charge or negative one
The process of transforming a photon to other energy involves the absorption of the photon by a material, which then converts the photon's energy into another form such as heat or electricity.
The energy of a photon is determined by its wavelength or frequency. The shorter the wavelength or higher the frequency, the higher the energy of the photon.
No, not all materials have the ability to transform a photon to other energy. Only materials with the appropriate energy levels can absorb and convert the energy of a photon.
The efficiency of transforming a photon to other energy is affected by factors such as the material's properties, the wavelength of the photon, and the temperature of the material.
Some practical applications of transforming photons to other energy include solar panels, photovoltaic cells, and certain types of detectors and sensors. These technologies utilize the energy of photons to generate electricity or detect light signals.
