An easy approach to Physics

Light consist of tiny particles called photons. Each photon travel with speed of light. It's frequency does not change when travel from to another medium. The rest mass is zero. Each photon possesses energy and momentum. So, when these photons of high frequency incident upon negatively charged metallic...
