Each Light particle is self-propelled motor
Light consists of electric and magnetic fields at 90-degree to each other and itslef generates third vector in 90 to the electric and magnetic fields to give it continuous motion. This makes light as a permanent motor and Photon keeps moving at the velocity of light C. Hence, unless e-m-fields can be removed, photon will never stop. Even when photon loses energy, it moves at the same velocity in vacuum. You can say that photon loses its mass or frequency but never loses its velocity. Here energy is related to mass or frequency.
Photon is converted into two particles if it has energy greater than 1.2MeV and passes close to the nucleus of other atom. This is called pair production and you get two particles from one photon – electron and positron (positive charge electron is also called anti-matter). Each of the newly born particles will have minimum energy of 0.51MeV. When these particles lose their energy and combine with each other then they annihilate each other and their energy takes a shape of two Photons, each of 0.51MeV. Mater and anti-matter can't survive any close contact and result is losing the matter and formation of pure energy. Electrons have spin ½ while photons have spin 1. These are quantum numbers of angular momentum. Energy and momentum are conserved in all interactions. Momentum is directional parameter, which tells you the direction of the associated particle. Energy is just a number and is also proportional to the associated frequency of the particle or wave. Yes you can treat photon or electron as wave or particle and they have dual nature. New theories may also define them differently.
