A photon is a quanta of light. Our picture of light, to this point, has been that of a wave. Wave-like characteristics are responsible for diffraction and refraction. However, light is absorbed and emitted one photon at a time.
I knew some new study would betrayal me, well I still wave my particle.....
isnt a photon just a wave in the photon field or w\e?
If quantum field theory is correct, yes.
