can you see the back of a photon?

Question

When you look at the information on a photon the image is only visible from the front...What does the back/sides of the photon look like?

Answer 1

There is no information on a photon beyond the photon itself, and photons do not have "sides".

Additionally, the act of "seeing" is composed of photons striking your eye and being interpreted by your brain. If the photon does not strike your eye, you do not see it.

Answer 2

Not exactly. Photons are just mathemathical constructs that indicate the Amount of light Energy falling on a surface for one second.
Light is a micromass flux moving in a Ratiative manner. Light micromasss particles cannot be shadowed .Hence they are invisible particles. However ;since every mass structures in the Universe has a spherical shape,so the micromass of light must also be spherical. Humans have ever seen a light particle.
There is a diffference between what science calls a"Photon "and a micromass particle of Light description.
Hence we cannot talk concretely about Light as a Photon which is only the Energy displayed by the power of light radiation and Light as an entity which is in reality a Mass Structure. One relates to an energy process, whereas the micromass structure of a Light particle relates to a tangible Substance.

Answer 3

A photon can only be seen from one end.
When a photon is emitted it travels in the direction of emission accelerating from zero to "C"in one 30 billionths of a second.
The photon is preceded by a,sort of shock wave of about one centimeter.
This shock wave allows the photon time to do what ever is required of it.
The shock wave is a spacial characteristic but may be analogous to a sonic wave.
If it approaches a mirror it needs time to stop then reflect from the surface.
If it approaches glass it must slow to accommodate the optical density then accelerated back to "C"
The shock wave is what substantiates the photon [and precedes it] so there is no way to see it from behind.
