What do you think about a photon?
A photon is a particle of light. Or more generally, of electromagnetic waves.
What is the name for a particle of em radiation?
Photon - you can think of it as a bundle of waves
What is Light waves?
Is the direction of the wave of the light energy in the same path of the photon.
Who named the photon?
Max Planck came up with the idea of a photon of energy, suggesting that instead of waves, each photon had a discrete amount, or a quantum hence the foundation of quantum mechanics. I assume it was him who gave it the name.
What type of electromagnitic waves has the greatest energy of photon?
That's called gamma radiation.

Electromagnetic waves are made of?
Electromagnetic waves carries by the small particles named "Photon".

What form of waves is light carried by?
Light is not carried by waves, it IS as wave an "electromagnetic" wave. Interestingly, it is also a particle, a "photon".
What is Light waves?
Is the direction of the wave of the light energy in the same path of the photon.

What is the difference between a photon of yellow light and a photon of violet light?
A photon of yellow light has lower frequency that a photon of violet light. Remember that light can be considered both as particles (photons) and as waves. So when saying a photon has higher frequencie, its actually the wave part of the light that has a higher frequency.
Which is the lowest possible energy state for a photon?
it would be that of the Ground State
What type of electromagnitic waves has the greatest energy of photon?
That's called gamma radiation.
What is electormagnetic waves?
The term is "electromagnetic waves". Such waves are variations in the electric and magnetic field of space, which propagate as a wave, at the speed of light. They include light itself, x-rays, radio waves, and others - really, the ONLY difference between the different types of electromagnetic waves are the differences in frequency, and the related differences in wavelength and energy per photon. (The photon is the individual particle of such a wave.)
What are electromagnetic waves made of?
Electromagnetic waves are made up of particles called Photons.Electromagnetic waves carries by the small particles named "Photon".Electromagnetic waves are made of photon charges, E=hf=hc/r = zQ2c/r, where Q is the photon charge= 4/3 E-18 Coulombs = 8 1/3 Electrons=(13U,1d) Quark.an electric field and a magnetic field that are orthogonal to each other and oscillating at the same frequency.
What does it mean for light to be coherent?
It means that all the parts of light are in phase - the crest of the waves for one photon coincide with the crests of the waves for another one.
