The name photon derives from the Greek word for light, φως (transliterated phôs), and was coined in 1926 by the physical chemist Gilbert Lewis.

The light bearing packet of energy emitted by an electron is called a?
A packet of light energy is called a photon.
What is the term for the small packets of energy emitted from the light?
Photons
What is the smallest packet of energy of a specific type of electro magnetic radiation?
a photon
Can Energy of a photon be any value along a continuous spectrum of energies?
I believe it can - the energy of a photon is the product of the frequency and Plank's constant - and as far as I know, the frequency is not quantized.
What is the Mass gamma radiation?
Gamma radiation is made up of photons, which are massless.That is to say, the invariant mass, often simply called mass, is zero. However, the photon does have energy, which has an equivalent mass. The exact mass (in the sense of energy equivalence) of a photon will depend on its energy, which can vary.From the Wikipedia: "Gamma rays typically have energies above 100 keV..." That would be about 1.6e-14 joules (lower limit); if you divide that by the square of the speed of light, you get the equivalent in kilograms (per photon).
The light bearing packet of energy emitted by an electron is called a?
A packet of light energy is called a photon.
What is a packet of electromagnetic radiation called?
The packet of electromagnetic radiation is the photon.
What is the photon?
Its a packet of energy.
A packet of energy that carries a quantum of energy?
Packet of energy refers to a quantized or definite amount of energy carried by a particle. This packet energy or lumps of energy depends on the wavelength which can be found from Planck's formula E=hf. This is the idea originally provided by Max Planck to explain Black Body Radiation and to solve Ultra-violate catastrophe which later on came out to be the inception of Quantum Mechanics.
What is a packet of energy traveling in a wave?
Photon
What is the word Planck used for packet of energy?
photon
What an example of a photon?
energy of one packet of light
What is the term for the small packets of energy emitted from the light?
Photons
What is a photon -simply?
The smallest particle or packet of light energy you can get.
What is the smallest packet of energy of a specific type of electro magnetic radiation?
a photon
What is a photon-?
A particle of light. Or, in general, of an electromagnetic wave.
Can Energy of a photon be any value along a continuous spectrum of energies?
I believe it can - the energy of a photon is the product of the frequency and Plank's constant - and as far as I know, the frequency is not quantized.
