<p class="abstract">The electromagnetic force is the force affecting
|
|
|
|
|
electrically charged particles. This is the force that keeps the
|
|
|
|
|
electrons close to the nucleus of an atom. How do the charged
|
|
|
|
|
particles communicate with each other? They exchange a certain type of
|
|
|
|
|
particle, called the photon. This is the same particle that makes up
|
|
|
|
|
light! Visible light, X-rays, microwaves and radio waves are all
|
|
|
|
|
photons, with different energies.</p>
