This lecture introduces the basic concepts of photons and x-rays, covering topics such as the wave-particle duality of light, Compton scattering, photoelectric effect, electronvolt, and the electromagnetic spectrum. It explains the relationship between wavelength, photon energy, and the speed of light, emphasizing the quantum nature of light and the energy quantization of photons.
