Photon Epoch 10 seconds to 380,000 yearsThe Photon Epoch started about 10 seconds after the creation and ended about 380 thousand years later. RadiationThe young Universe was filled with high energy radiation. Radiation is a consequence of the electromagnetic field. It is a mixture of electric and magnetic fields which grow and die as they move along, swapping energy between them, somewhat like the two wings of an exotic bird, something like this diagram.
PhotonsOne of the strange consequences of quantum mechanics is that waves, such as electromagnetic radiation, also act as particles and particles act like waves. The particles which make up radiation are called photons. SpectrumSome radiation has more energy than others. In the young Universe the radiation mostly had very high energy. In radiation with high energy, the fields swap energy faster than in low energy radiation. The different names given to different types of radiation are as follows: Highest Energy Gamma Rays X Rays Ultra Violet Violet Light Blue Light Green Light Yellow Light Orange Light Red Light Infra Red Microwaves Television Radio Lowest Energy
