A photon is considered a particle of radiation. That is, the photon propagates as an electromagnetic wave, but it also has an energy content that interacts as a particle. Proof of this is the photoelectric effect, in which radiation of a certain wavelength can tear electrons from a metal surface. According to Einstein, this was only possible thanks to the collision between photons and electrons. In the case of a collision between a photon and the nucleus, the photon simply disappears to become an electron and a positron. In other words, we have the conversion of energy itself into matter and antimatter. The question is: How can a photon transform into an electron-positron pair? What is the mystery of the creation of matter and antimatter? One possible explanation is related to Dirac's relativistic theory for the electron.
