... Blackbody radiation and the photoelectric effect can only be explained by a new quantum theory of light. The quantum of light is called a photon and it has energy of E = hf = hc/l. Furthermore, the Compton effect shows that photons carry momentum of p = h/l, consistent with the relativistic energymo ...

Introduction: what is quantum field theory
... Another reason to treat the field, rather than the particle as the fundamental quantity is the experimental fact that when particles interact, new particles can be created (or annihilated) - the particle number is not conserved. This fact is demonstrated at a daily basis in CERN and other accelerato ...
