I think I had seen it elsewhere, but I can't found it now. What happen when photon passing through highly charged field?
Well, that is indeed what i asumed you meant to say in the first place. The answer i gave concerning photons stays the same.AlienUFO said:I think you misunderstand 'passing through highly charged field', my question like electron being accelerate by negative field, deflected by positive field...
Dunno 'bout that but fact is that uncharged particles (electrically as well as magnetically "un"charged) are NOT affected by the presence of the EM field. As a matter of fact, the electroncharge e expresses the strength of interaction of the EM force mediated by photons. In short : e is the coupling constant of the EM interaction. So, no e equals no EM interaction. It is as simple as that. Same counts for the magnetic part which is dual to the electric part.I remember there still be some kind of reaction under critic condition, I had read.

A photon does not pass through a very high EM field. Photons are the EM field, meaning that they are the quanta of vibrating EM fields. What i CAN tell you is that photons do not interact with photons in lowest order perturbation theory.AlienUFO said:OK, what I want is a direct and simple answer: What is the result when photon passing through very high EM field?

No not "some different travelling", i mean NO TRAVELLING AT ALL.AlienUFO said:The photon don't pass through high EM field? I don't understand. You mean photon undergoes some different traveling method within high EM field?

Actually, you ask an invalid question. Why ? Because it violates one of the foundations of QM. The particle wave duality states that you can EITHER use the particle picture (photons) OR the wavelike picture (EM waves which correspond to vibrating EM fields) but NOT BOTH AT THE SAME TIME. You are doing the latter because you use both photons and EM fields at the same time. So, either we talk about photons (WHICH DO NOT MUTUALLY INTERACT, except indirectly through hadronization) or we talk about EM fields.

edit : hadronization

Zz.
That's too weak for anything noticable I suppose.ZapperZ said:How HIGH of a field? Would 80 MV/m do?
Zz.
AlienUFO said:what is the matter? at this high value will make something different?
No, i mean that you cannot be talking about photons and EM fields AT THE SAME TIME. This violates QM.AlienUFO said:Why? You mean I cannot even started to shoot a real photon into the field?
A photon is a fundamental particle of light that carries energy and behaves like both a particle and a wave.
A highly charged field can cause a photon to experience a change in its direction, speed, or energy due to the interaction between the photon and the electric field of the charged particles.
Yes, a photon can be absorbed by a highly charged field if the energy of the photon matches the energy needed to excite the charged particles in the field.
The behavior of a photon after passing through a highly charged field depends on the strength of the field and the energy of the photon. It may continue on its path with no change, scatter in a new direction, or be absorbed by the charged particles in the field.
Yes, a highly charged field can affect the speed of light due to the interaction between the photon and the electric field. However, this effect is usually very small and only noticeable in extreme conditions.
