where is photon located when it is not absorbed by electron? Magnetic field?
A photon simply doesn’t have a position. The quantum mechanical operator that defines the position of a particle fails for massless particles.rickyyeungyeung said:where is photon located when it is not absorbed by electron? Magnetic field?
A photon is a fundamental particle of light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation. When a photon comes into contact with an electron, it can either be absorbed, scattered, or reflected.
Yes, a photon can exist without being absorbed by an electron. It can travel through space as a wave or particle until it interacts with matter.
A photon does not have a specific location when it is not absorbed by an electron. It exists as a probability wave and can be described by its wavelength and frequency.
When a photon is absorbed by an electron, its energy is transferred to the electron, causing it to move to a higher energy state. The location of the photon is then within the electron's energy level.
Yes, it is possible for a photon to be absorbed by multiple electrons. This is known as multiple photon absorption and can occur when the energy of the photon is high enough to excite multiple electrons in a material.
