Source sentences:
text: As nouns the difference between photon and laser is that photon is (particle) the quantum of light and other electromagnetic energy, regarded as a discrete particle having zero rest mass, no electric charge, and an indefinitely long lifetime
text: As nouns the difference between photon and phonon is that photon is (particle) the quantum of light and other electromagnetic energy, regarded as a discrete particle having zero rest mass, no electric charge, and an indefinitely long lifetime it is a gauge boson while phonon is (physics) the quantum of acoustic or vibrational energy (sound), considered a discrete particle rather than a wave.
text: In context|particle|lang=en terms the difference between photon and proton is that photon is (particle) the quantum of light and other electromagnetic energy, regarded as a discrete particle having zero rest mass, no electric charge, and an indefinitely long lifetime it is a gauge boson while proton is (particle) positively charged subatomic particle forming part of the nucleus of an atom and determining the atomic number of an element; the nucleus of the most common isotope of hydrogen; composed of two up quarks and a down quark.

text: As nouns the difference between photon and neutron is that photon is (particle) the quantum of light and other electromagnetic energy, regarded as a discrete particle having zero rest mass, no electric charge, and an indefinitely long lifetime it is a gauge boson while neutron is (particle) a subatomic particle forming part of the nucleus of an atom and having no charge; it is a combination of an up quark and two down quarks.
text: In context|particle|lang=en terms the difference between photon and electron is that photon is (particle) the quantum of light and other electromagnetic energy, regarded as a discrete particle having zero rest mass, no electric charge, and an indefinitely long lifetime it is a gauge boson while electron is (particle) the subatomic particle having a negative charge and orbiting the nucleus; the flow of electrons in a conductor constitutes electricity.

text: As nouns the difference between photon and downconversion is that photon is (particle) the quantum of light and other electromagnetic energy, regarded as a discrete particle having zero rest mass, no electric charge, and an indefinitely long lifetime it is a gauge boson while downconversion is (physics) the interaction of a photon with a medium in which it is converted into two photons of lower frequencies such that energy is conserved.
