Particles can be described as condensed energy in the sense that energy and matter are interchangeable according to Einstein's famous equation, E=mc^2. Matter can be viewed as a form of condensed energy, and particles are the building blocks of matter.

Particles can possess thermal energy, commonly referred to as heat, which is related to the random motion of particles. The more energetic the particles are, the higher their temperature and the more heat they possess.

Particles can interact with electromagnetic fields and emit or absorb light. This phenomenon is known as electromagnetic radiation. Certain particles, such as electrons, can emit or absorb photons, which are particles of light. This emission or absorption of light occurs when electrons transition between different energy states.

Particles are subject to four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, weak nuclear force, and strong nuclear force. These forces govern the interactions between particles and are responsible for the various phenomena observed in the universe. Gravity is responsible for the attraction between masses, electromagnetism governs the interactions between electrically charged particles, weak nuclear force is involved in certain types of radioactive decay, and strong nuclear force binds protons and neutrons together in atomic nuclei.

So, in summary, it is correct to say that particles are condensed energy, possess heat, show light (in terms of emitting or absorbing electromagnetic radiation), and are subject to the four fundamental forces.
