The plates will act like mirrors for the virtual photons or particles of light.

It emits a virtual photon carrying to transfer energy and momentum to the other electron.

Instead, virtual photons can transfer momentum between two charged particles.

It is this exchange of virtual photons that, for example, generates the Coulomb force.

To perceive the world, my brain must convert virtual photons into sensory information.

In both cases the brain is shaping virtual photons into a pattern of experience.

According to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle this 'virtual' photon can only exist for a time.

Technically all electromagnetic interactions are by way of photons, real or virtual in the end.

The electromagnetic force can be described by the exchange of virtual photons.

It is caused by the exchange of virtual photons.
