Who proposed the idea that light consists of quanta of energy?
Albert Einstein proposed the idea the light exists of quanta of energy that he called photons.
What is the energy of quanta?
A quantum can have almost any energy. For example, light comes in pieces or quanta (the photons), but the individual pieces (photons) can have any energy, from near zero to an almost unlimited energy.
Discrete packages of light energy are called what?
Discrete packages of light energy are called photons. Photons are also the quanta of all other electromagnetic radiation, not just light.
Light energy travels in tiny particles?
yes. it travels as photons which are individual quantum of light, caused by the electrons losing quanta of energy
Which had the lower energy quanta red light or blue light?
Light of is made up of a finite number of photons, or light quanta. The energy of each photon is proportional to the frequency of the light, and hence inversely proportional to the wavelength of the light. Red light has a longer wavelength than blue light, so the quantum of red light has less energy than the quantum of blue light.

What is a synonym for quanta of light energy?
Photons of light.
Which scientist theorized that light energy can either be released or absorbed in packets called quanta?
Planck.
Light spreads as an electromagnetic wave that can be created or absorbed only in discrete bundles of energy or particles called?
Quantums of energy, or quanta.
Which had the lower energy quanta red light or blue light?
Light of is made up of a finite number of photons, or light quanta. The energy of each photon is proportional to the frequency of the light, and hence inversely proportional to the wavelength of the light. Red light has a longer wavelength than blue light, so the quantum of red light has less energy than the quantum of blue light.
Who suggested that light and other form of electromagnetic radiation travels as tiny bundles of energy called light quanta or photons?
max plank
What did Albert Einstein call the quanta of light energy?
photons
Light consists of discrete packets of energy called?
Light consists of discrete packets of energy called quanta. A single quantum of light is better known as a photon.
What scientist proposed the idea that light consists of quanta of energy?
Max Planck.
