Shine a flash light into a mirror.

Don't paint yourself into a corner. You might not be able to get out.

Restate it again. It's still clear as mud.

Shall we try again Gogo? The electromagnetic force (one of four),
is carried by the photon. Some examples from the electromagnetic'
spectrum, include x-rays, UV, visible light, microwave. Radar
frequencies are typically in longer wavelengths, say cm to meter
range.

From the quantum mechanical perspective,

1. photons are emitted (by charged particles)
2. photons propagate at c
3. photons are absorbed (by charged particles)

Photon momentum
p = hν/c = h/λ

Photon Energy
E = hν

Why do you waste your time with me?
