<strong>Particle</strong> Properties of Light• Black Body radiation + photoelectric effect suggest that theenergy of light is quantized in ‘packets’ (photons).E = h ν = h c / λ• The problem is, how real are these light packets?• Can these light packets (photons) be treated as realparticles?Question:If light behaves like particle, does ithave momentum?Recall from Special Relativity, E = pc if light behaves like particle.p = E/c = nh/λ56
