photon

Photon vs Lightfront - What's the difference?

photon | lightfront |


As nouns the difference between photon and lightfront

is that photon is photon while lightfront is (physics) the set of photons in the same phase of a pulse of (especially laser) light.

Photon vs Multiphotonic - What's the difference?

photon | multiphotonic |


As a noun photon

is photon.

As an adjective multiphotonic is

involving multiple photons.

Photon vs Photofield - What's the difference?

photon | photofield |


As nouns the difference between photon and photofield

is that photon is photon while photofield is (physics) used attributively to describe a form of photoemission in which an electron in a metal is excited by a photon and subsequently tunnels out of the surface.

Photon vs Antiphoton - What's the difference?

photon | antiphoton |


As nouns the difference between photon and antiphoton

is that photon is the quantum of light and other electromagnetic energy, regarded as a discrete particle having zero rest mass, no electric charge, and an indefinitely long lifetime. It is a gauge boson while antiphoton is the antiparticle of a photon (identical to a photon).

Photon vs Biphoton - What's the difference?

photon | biphoton |


As nouns the difference between photon and biphoton

is that photon is photon while biphoton is (physics) a quantum-entangled state comprising two photons.

Photon vs Photomeson - What's the difference?

photon | photomeson |


As nouns the difference between photon and photomeson

is that photon is photon while photomeson is (physics) a meson (usually a p-meson) ejected from a nucleus by an impinging photon.

Photon vs Microbunch - What's the difference?

photon | microbunch |


As nouns the difference between photon and microbunch

is that photon is photon while microbunch is (physics) a short cluster of photons (or electrons) produced by a laser etc.

Photon vs Comptonization - What's the difference?

photon | comptonization |


As nouns the difference between photon and comptonization

is that photon is photon while comptonization is (physics) the result of the compton effect; particularly, the redistribution of the energies of photons scattered by electrons in space.

Photon vs Shotnoise - What's the difference?

photon | shotnoise |


As nouns the difference between photon and shotnoise

is that photon is photon while shotnoise is (physics) noise due to random variations in the number and velocity of electrons or photons in a device.

Photon vs Afterpulsing - What's the difference?

photon | afterpulsing |


As nouns the difference between photon and afterpulsing

is that photon is photon while afterpulsing is (physics) the production of afterpulses due to feedback in a photon detector.
