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.
Fun Facts about Photons. 1  Not only is light made up of photons, but all electromagnetic energy (i.e. microwaves, radio waves, X-rays) is made up of photons. 2  The original concept of the photon was developed by Albert Einstein. However, it was scientist Gilbert N. Lewis who first used the word photon to describe it. The theory that states that light behaves both like a wave and a particle is called the wave-particle duality theory. Photons are always electrically neutral. They have no electrical charge.
