Photon wave....from sun?

Question

The fusion in sun causes it to glow and we see it. If we consider just one point in time can we explain the process as follows...

1. all the photons form a thick sphere around the sun and start to expand just like a baloon which is being inflated.

2. As a baloon gets bigger, the material of the baloon gets thinner and thinner, similarly the density (or intensity) of the photons in that imaginary sphere also gets thinner (or less intense)

3. is the process something similar to what i have mentioned above??

Light being both a particle and wave is killing me......i hope some expert might help me out.

Answer 1

Photons are simply the carriers of the electromagnetic force. "Photon waves" are light waves, electromagnetic (EM) radiation. It's simply a form of energy. Fusion produces energy, so we see EM radiation (light) coming from the sun.

Answer 2

Hi. As the photon shell (in your example) expands the density of photons follows the inverse square rule. Double the distance and the density is one quarter. This does not have anything to do with particle/wave duality, and that is a whole subject itself. Basically a single photon can be measured. The act of measuring changes the photon (as it does for all measurements). If you measure MANY photons you'll find that they behave like a wave does. Much to much here for such a short answer.

Answer 3

i'd assume it would be when you consider that acceleration through gravity is a functionality on the subject rely of the made from the mass of the two gadgets. g = Gm1m2/r^2 the place G is a relentless, m1 is the photon's mass, m2 is the mass of the sunlight, and r is the gap. because m1 is ridiculously small, i'd assume the acceleration through gravity to be small. I doubt this to be the full tale, although if that is probable a good commencing element. i'm constructive, through fact the photon would be shifting on the cost of light, that the respond somewhat lies in relativity.
