Not exactly, they are minute energy packet of electromagnetic radiation.
Individual packets of light are called photons. Photons are the basic unit of light and do not have mass, allowing them to travel at the speed of light.
Various packets of light are termed "photons".
The term for the small packets of energy emitted from light is called photons.
He wrote a paper that described the photoelectric effect. The paper contained equations used to explain why certain wavelengths of light cause the p-e effect but others do not and the energy changes in the electrons during the p-e effect.

Photons (energy packets of light)
Light consists of discrete packets of energy called quanta. A single quantum of light is better known as a photon.
The energy of visible light can be measured in organized packets called photons. These photons have discrete values of energy, meaning there is exact amounts of energy these have, and don't vary in decimal places.

light is a type of energy, it travels in packets of energy called photons
Tiny packets of light are called photons. They are the basic unit of light and possess properties of both particles and waves.
