Sentence examples for units of light from inspiring English sources
Photons are the smallest known units of light, with both particle and wave properties.
But because photons -- the basic units of light -- make electrons seem relatively sluggish, a silicon chip that could spit out laser light is the stuff of dreams for engineers looking for ever faster computer chips.
Because electrons in glass molecules are confined to particular energy levels, they cannot absorb and reemit photons (the basic units of light energy) by skipping from one energy band to another and back again.
