Photons behave differently than particles in scattering processes due to their lack of mass and the nature of their interactions. While particles scatter directly in collisions, photons can scatter indirectly through the creation of virtual electron-positron pairs, although this occurs with a very low probability. The complexity of the Feynman diagrams involved in photon-photon interactions, which require multiple vertices, contributes to the reduced likelihood of scattering. The exchange of bosons or electrons in these processes is dictated by the underlying principles of quantum electrodynamics (QED). Understanding these interactions requires a deeper exploration of QED and related resources.
