But the Solis has negatively polarized charges of photons.
I'm tutoring some students this summer on the topic of classical physics. I am using the Openstax textbook, "College Physics", developed by Rice University as a reference. Rice says that at least 55 universities are using the textbook for a course.
This excellent text book is available online for free. Chapters 30 and onward deal with nuclear physics, with chapter 31 dealing most directly with the subject on which you are speaking. Well, at least as best as I can tell.

I will stick with my 11e University Physics with Modern Physics by Young and Freeman. Though the text you are using doesn't look watered down.

The book you have should be fine. What does it say about "charges of photons"? or negative polarization of such?
ABE:
In your textbook, you might start with chapters 32 and 33. Light polarization is discussed in section 33.5.

It says nothing other than the standard photoelectric effect. Photons could have been photoelectrons; but I think of photons as cycles of charge, but they are overall, negative. This can seen by how a laser pulls hot metal away instead of pushing it around. So-called "Positive" polarization would be invisible to the onlooker. In effect, anything electron/positron related tends to produce repelling magnetics and radioactivity.

No, the photons could not have been electrons.

I think you're confusing photons and electrons. A photon has neither mass nor charge, while an electron has both. A photoelectron is just a normal electron that has been freed due to the photoelectric effect. It is not some combination of a photon and electron.
But they aren't completely unrelated. For example, an electron will emit a photon when its energy level drops.

Yes. E&M radiation can be emitted whenever a charge is accelerated, including during deceleration. For example Bremsstrahlung radiation can be emitted when the path of an electron is changed by interaction with a heavy nucleus.
But I think OS's confusion is far more pervasive than a mere confusion of photoelectrons with photons. For example, what is he saying about a laser beam attracting metal? About negatively and positively charged polarization, among other things? Why does he think metal is positively charged?

the metal has a combination of negative and positive charges, but the light beam pulls the metal using a negative charge.

I call bullshit.
Cite a verifiable example, or hush - light beams do not carry charge.

About 2 out of every three of your posts contain incorrect statements about physics. Many of your posts contain two or more demonstrably wrong statements. Why is that?

I didn't say it was electricity. But to say negative charges repel is bullshit. Negative charges hold the universe together, and prevent positively charged electrons from repelling each other too much.

I'm reminded of an old Peanuts comic strip where Charlie Brown comments that Linus is going to have to go to school twice as long as everyone else so he can unlearn everything Lucy taught him. Just where did you pick up all these odd ideas about light and electric charges?
