Photons: a Definition

[Little Killer]

. . . I DON'T KNOW! *curls up in fetal position* I haven't taken a physics or chemistry class yet.

[nomercy]

Wah, nomercy, I'm easily confused. You're going to have to define the word "heat" for me now. What's the difference between heat and light, because it's the heat that's burning your hands, isn't it? What's "Electromagnetic radiation"?

The heat is created by the light. Electromagnetic radiation is...Got me. I only have a double-C GCSE in science.

[Little Killer]

*static* Still confused.:S

[nomercy]

Uh..Hmm. Let me put it as simply as I can.

Light gives off a small amount of heat. If that was cocentrated on a small area (take for example using a magnifying glass to focus the sun and burn stuff) That ray of light gains enough heat to set something on fire. There, you have your photon weapon.

[Little Killer]

Oh. That makes me feel stupid that I didn't understand that. Yea. I want to see a barbie caught on fire with a "photon" weapon.

[nomercy]

X.x I don't know how to simplify it any more...

[Little Killer]

OH NO! I got that! I should have made that more clear. HA! HA!

That made perfect sense.

[nomercy]

XD Ah good. I was afraid I'd lost you again.

[Little Killer]

Yea. I'm not INCREDIBLY stupid.

[nomercy]

XD I'm saying nothing on that. I plead the fifth.

By that I mean i refuse to answer on the grounds it may incriminate me.
