It's been some time since I posted the debunk of the Theory of Relativity and felt there needed to be a little bit said on the particle side of light.
In the previous post I clearly stated that light was a wave in electromagnetic fields. This is true. What about photons? If you aren't familiar with photons then it's the particle some have said that light is made of. It is thought that they must be what dislodges electrons when high frequency light is shown on certain surfaces. Simply stated they are merely a way for some folks to wrap their minds around something so they can move forward.
A more accurate way to state it would be likening it to a vibration. When crystal, we've all heard about this, is exposed to vibrations at a certain frequency then it can shatter, that is to say it releases it's bond. In like manner when exposed to a certain frequency some electrons shoot off, that is to say they release their bonds. In both cases the frequency must match the material being affected.
Thus the statement that light is a wave in the electromagnetic field is still true.
Again if you have relevant input please feel free to share.
