What is a Photon ?


          Every subatomic particle in our universe has which is combined with energy but the energy is released when the particle reaches a higher energy state when compared to its lower state. Photons are not actually particles but they are the energy which is released the electrons when an electron gains energy and jumps to a higher state. In our Universe, There is only one phenomenon which is called light. This is in the form of a Beam. A light ray is a collection of Photons. These are produced from the elements which are used in the production of a light ray. In elements, when reactions are produced within the subatomic particles of that atom, the electrons jump from lower energy level states to higher energy level states within the atom. Due to the shifting of electrons between the energy levels of the atom, The electron jumps from a higher energy level to lower energy level states, energy in the form of photons released in that region which is also called as photo energy. This photo energy when combined with the hypothetically invisible mass which forms into a light ray combined with the heat energy which is visible to the naked eye. Even the stars in our universe release the light in this same process due to the dust and gases which are present in it.
