What happens to photons in a magnetic room?
What happens to photons in a magnetic room?
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the behavior of photons in a magnetic field, specifically addressing how a magnetic field influences their properties. It is established that while a magnetic field can alter the phase of a photon, it does not change the photon's trajectory. This conclusion is supported by the principles of electromagnetism and quantum mechanics.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of electromagnetic theory
- Familiarity with quantum mechanics
- Knowledge of photon behavior
- Basic concepts of phase alteration in wave phenomena
- Research the effects of magnetic fields on light propagation
- Explore the principles of quantum electrodynamics
- Study the phase modulation of electromagnetic waves
- Investigate applications of photons in magnetic environments
Physicists, optical engineers, and anyone interested in the interaction between light and magnetic fields.

Hi rhines8!
The magnetic field may alter the phase of the photon, but it won't alter its path.
I think.
