The concept of transience and intermittency can be vague. âMicroscopic colitis flare-ups vary in length and intensity from patient to patient,â Dr. Fine says. âDiet, exercise, sleep patterns, stress, and many other factors can affect a flare-up. It can take weeks or years to heal.
A photon is the quantum of electromagnetic radiation that describes the particle properties of an electromagnetic wave. The energy of a photon is given by the equation E = hf, where E is energy, h is Planck's constant, and f is frequency. This equation tells us that as the frequency of radiation increases (wavelength decreases), the photon energy increases.
The photon is the fundamental particle of visible light. In some ways, visible light behaves like a wave phenomenon, but in other respects it acts like a stream of high-speed, submicroscopic particles. Isaac Newton was one of the first scientists to theorize that light consists of particles.
