II. CONTENT Photon

A photon (from Ancient Greek means phôs, phōtós or 'light') is an elementary

particle that is a quantum of the electromagnetic field, including electromagnetic
radiation such as light and radio waves, and the force carrier for the electromagnetic
force. Photons are massless,[a] so they always move at the speed of light in vacuum,
299792458 m/s (or about 186,282 mi/s). The photon belongs to the class of bosons.

Like all elementary particles, photons are currently best explained by quantum
mechanics, and exhibit wave–particle duality, their behavior featuring properties of
both waves and particles.[2] The modern photon concept originated during the first
two decades of the 20th century with the work of Albert Einstein, who built upon the
research of Max Planck. While trying to explain how matter and electromagnetic
radiation could be in thermal equilibrium with one another, Planck proposed that the
energy stored within a material object should be regarded as composed of an integer
number of discrete, equal-sized parts. To explain the photoelectric effect, Einstein
introduced the idea that light itself is made of discrete units of energy. In 1926,
Gilbert N. Lewis popularized the term photon for these energy units.[3][4][5]
Subsequently, many other experiments validated Einstein's approach.[6][7][8]

 Fluorescence and birefringence of 445 nm laser in calcite crystal. The blue laser beam is only
visible when the blue light is scattered, for example, by dust particles. Due to the 1.3s
exposure time, no individual dust particles can be seen. Dust particles are present in the air,
but not in the crystal. In the crystal, some part of the blue light is absorbed and re-emitted as
orange light, which is called fluorescence. Most of the blue light just continues to the other
end of the crystal. On the lower left you can see the laser beam going in. Part of the light is
reflected on the front surface of the crystal; this is the beam you see on the upper left. In the
crystal, the two polarizations are refracted by different angles, forming two beams in the
crystal. At the end surface, the two beams (both of which are polarized along the axes of the
crystal) are refracted back to their original direction, forming the two parallel beams on the
right. Inside the crystal, the two beams cause fluorescence and non-polarized orange light is
emitted from each point along both beams in every direction. As this light leaves the crystal,
it's separated into two orthogonal polarizations, which are refracted by different angles, so
that the observer sees four orange beams. The additional spots and beams you can see
result from internal reflections.

 Guide Questions for A:
1. What is Photon?
2. Where does the energy of the photon depend on?
3. How is frequency related to energy?
4. Which has more photons yet low frequency and low energy but can give more
power to the area, red light or blue light?
5. What is the speed of light in a vacuum and this is due to what factor?
6. What is the formula for photons containing energy?
7. What is Photoelectric Effect?
8. What paved the way for quantum revolution?

Guide Questions for B:

1. Define the following terms:
 Zero Mass
 No Restless Energy
 Elementary Particles
 Compton Effect

Guide Questions for C:

1. Give the significant contributions of the following Scientists:
 Gilbert Lewis and Frithiof Wolfers- coined the word Photon
 Euclid- postulated that light travels in a straight path, also described Laws
of Reflection.
 Ptolemy- completed the Laws of Reflection with concepts of refraction.
 Ibn Al-Haytham- formally established Laws of Refraction.
 Renể Descartes- he discussed that light is made of beats that propagate
promptly when contracting with “balls” in a medium.
 Christian Huygens- he discussed that light is compressible waves in a
flexible medium which is similar to sound waves. Related reflection,
Refraction and screened light waves.
 Thomas Young- Introduced the 2-slit experiment where he exhibited the
interference of light. He used single slit first and witnessed how single
light beam splits into two. He used his data to compute for the
wavelengths of the different light colors. This showed a concrete evidence
that light is a wave.
 Augustin Fresnel- came up with a detailed wave theory of diffraction.
 James Clerk Maxwell- found out that light propagates even in a vacuum at
the speed of 3.10x108 m/s. Also proved that light is an electromagnetic
disturbance that spreads through the field. Light was related to electricity
and magnetism.
 Max Planck- Exhibited that heat radiation was emitted and absorbed in
distinct packets of energy which is called quanta.
 Albert Einstein- explained that quantum is also applied to light. He used
the term Lichtquant, or quantum of light.

Guide Questions for D:

1. How did Albert Einstein prove that light is a particle in a form of photon and
carries energy?
2. What is the value of photon’s energy equivalent to Planck’s constant?
3. Who further proved that light also behaves as a wave?

(Explain) Group 1: Why do photographers use red light in producing pictures in dark room?

Group 2: Why do people get sunburn when exposed to ultraviolet light?

Group 3: How do CDs work with the help of light?

With the invention of CDs, people finally had a more reliable way of collecting
music. CD players are neither mechanical nor magnetic but optical: they use flashing
laser lights to record and read back information from the shiny metal discs. One of
the main problems with LPs and cassettes was the physical contact between the
player and the record or tape being played, which gradually wore out. In a CD player,
the only thing that touches the CD is a beam of light: the laser beam bounces
harmlessly off the surface of the CD, so the disc itself should (in theory) never wear
out. Another advantage is that the CD player can move its laser quickly to any part of
the disc, so you can instantly flip from track to track or from one part of a movie to
another.

Assessment) Is a Photon a Particle or a Wave
(Elaborate) At the speed of light, both photons pass. Photons are bosons, considered by the
subatomic particles, with no electric charge or resting mass and one unit of spin; they
are field particles that are assumed to be electromagnetic field carriers.

The electron’s energy, just as if it were a molecule, is stored at a point. So when the
electron propagates like a wave through space, it interacts like a particle at a point. It
is referred to as wave-particle duality.

Light primarily behaves as a wave, but it can also be known to consist of tiny energy
packets called photons. A fixed amount of energy is borne by photons, but they have
no mass. They also observed that the amount of electrons ejected, but not their
