Are Photons "pushed" or "pulled? What's the difference between the 'proton-photons' and the 'electron-photons' fundamentally? Improve this question. Thomas Fritsch Frank Frank 8 8 bronze badges. For an initial understanding of EM, it is much easier to understand it classically rather than using quantum field theory.
Smith Yes I think I am trying to understand the latter. And you shouldn't think of virtual photons as particles at all. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. Improve this answer.

Electrons have a negative charge, which means only that they move away from other negatively charged matter other electrons and are drawn to positively charged matter protons, often ones in the nuclei of atoms.
But photons are units packets of energy of an electromagnetic wave. They are not bits of matter. A type of photon that we experience very intimately all the time is the photons of visible light.
These hit our retina and cause chemical changes or hit a photographic plate. In both cases, the photons create chemical changes which ultimately create images. Light is just one type of electromagnetic energy.
Other types of electromagnetic energy are X-rays a high-energy wave , waves that carry radio signals and TV signals, microwaves in a microwave oven, etc.
