I will try my best to explain this question because I’ve googled multiple times over a decade and have asked a physics PhD and neither could understand what I meant, nor answered the question.
I understand that Photons are wave-particles. The smaller the wavelength, the more frequency. I also know that electromagnetism are 2 of the “same thing”, using the same force particle, a photon.
So what frequency do photons that are a acting as strictly magnetic? Magnetism seems to penetrate a heck of a lot more things than even gamma rays (excluding some metals), so why’s that? What makes them different, if they’re the same particle? Are magnetism photons “straight” or act more as a particle than a wave? Do magnetic photons experience the Doppler Effect? If we can count light photons with special instruments, can we do the same with magnet photons? What causes magnetic photons to “bend” around a magnetic object? Like if there was an MRI machine, does that mean there are just a LOT more magnetic photons or is the amplitude of them greater? Can magnetic photons turn into light photons directly?
In: 1
Photons are photons.
The only reason an electric field and a magnetic field are different is:
An electric field is created by charged particles that are *stationary*.
A magnetic field is created by charged particles that are *moving*.
That’s it, they are still created by and made of the same thing they just have different properties.
Just like how a car that isn’t moving is basically just a place to store stuff and a car that’s moving is a means of transportation. But they are both still *cars.*
