Are all photons the same photon?

All photons (if they carry the same energy within them) are identical to all other photons of that energy. Protons are identical to other protons, and neutrons are identical to other neutrons.

Are all photons equal?

In summary: ‘all photons are equal but some photons are more equal than others’ 7, and Rf[ψ] quantifies the degree of equality.

How do photons differ from each other?

The amount of energy a photon has can cause it to behave more like a wave, or more like a particle. This is called the “wave-particle duality” of light. Low energy photons (such as radio photons) behave more like waves, while higher energy photons (such as X-rays) behave more like particles.

Can more than 2 photons be entangled?

Entanglement can come in if you have two photons. Each can be put into the uncertain vertical-and-horizontal state. However, the photons can be entangled so that their polarizations are correlated even while they remain undetermined.

Do photons always have the same energy?

Photons have a different energy, according to their wavelengths. For example, Gamma rays have higher energy when compared to other lights. Light travels at the same speed in a vacuum. In different mediums, different types of light travel at different rates.

Do all photons have same mass if not why?

Since frequency (v) of different colours is different, hence their equivalent masses are different.

Does every photon have the same energy?

All photons possess the same amount of energy.

Are electrons and photons the same thing?

Electrons have a negative charge, which means only that they move away from other negatively charged matter (other electrons) and are drawn to positively charged matter (protons, often ones in the nuclei of atoms). But photons are units (packets of energy) of an electromagnetic wave. They are not bits of matter.

Do photons with the same wavelength have the same energy?

Photon energy is the energy carried by a single photon. The amount of energy is directly proportional to the photon’s electromagnetic frequency and thus, equivalently, is inversely proportional to the wavelength. Equivalently, the longer the photon’s wavelength, the lower its energy.
