T continued, “Photons are the units or packets of energy of an electromagnetic wave. They are not bits of matter. A type of photon we experience is the photons of visible light. These hit our retina and cause chemical changes or hit a photographic plate in scientific experiments. In both cases, the photons create chemical changes which ultimately create images.”

Arther contemplated the small range of visible light we experience compared to the wider spectrum.
