We discuss how Albert Einstein extended Planck’s concept to a quantum of light (a “photon”) to explain the photoelectric effect. We also show how American physicist Arthur H. Compton used the photon concept in 1923 to explain wavelength shifts observed in X-rays.

It highlights significant advancements in electrical engineering and discusses conservation laws in physics, including momentum and charge. Key aspects include the interplay of electric charge, current, and photon energy, alongside relationships between frequency, wavelength, and light speed.

Photons travel (by definition) at the speed of light, and need therefore be massless. They do carry energy though, which is related to their frequency.
