: How come all the electromagnetic waves around does not affect eachother or get mixed up?

559 views

I was watching this Feynman’s talk where he said to the reporter that “I can see you because you’re in front of me, and person on my left can see person straight to him, on my right”,because light waves are always reflecting and bouncing off, it’s our perception.

That got me to question this about light and then all electromagnetic waves in general.

Apologies if this is a stupid question, just curious.

Photons don’t interact with each other. They interact with matter (actually the electrons on the outside of matter), but not other photons.
