I call it a 'photon'.
By the way, the photon has zero rest mass, but when it travels at the speed of light ...
which it always does ... it has some mass.

What is a unit or quantum of light a particle of electromagnetic radiation that has zero res mass and carries a quantum of energy?
E=hv E= energy h=plank's constant v=is the frequency of the photon in question.
Explain how photoelectric effect confirms particle nature of radation?
The photoelectric effect is a quantum electronic phenomenon in which electrons are emitted from matter after the absorption of energy from electromagnetic radiation such as x-rays or visible light.
What is law of quantum energy and quantum mass?
In the universe energy, matter and go as per quantum. Energy is released in quantum of photon. Electron has a quantum mass. Proton has quantum mass. Both has a quantum charge. Neutron has a quantum mass. Speed of light is a quantum. Big bang is a quantum event essentially occurring at particular mass. It takes a quantum energy for shifting of electrons from one shell to other. In photo-luminescence light energy is released in quantum.
What does quanta mean?
Photons, because higher frequencies have more energy higher frequency light is more energetic. Flames are simply excited electron releasing energy in the form of light. Energy progresses from red to violet in terms of visible light because violet has shorter wave length and hence higher frequencies. Also note that in the science of quantum mechanics, all forms of matter, energy, space and time are divided into small packages called quanta. The whole point is that physical quantities, unlike mathematical quantities, are not infinitely subdivisible. There is a limit to how small something can be, and that limit is a quantum. EDIT: A nice answer, although it has nothing to do with the question. A quanta is the smallest unit of energy.
How is a photon related to a quantum?
When a quantum leap occurs, a single photon is emitted. A "quantum leap" is generally used in the context of "business-speak" or "politico-speak" where the speaker is implying that some event, or process, or decision represents a large change of great significance.

What does photon mean?
In Chemistry it is a particle of electromagnetic radiation wth no mass that carries a quantum of energy. HOPE THIS HELPS:>photon is another name for concentrated energy, usually in quantizaed units.A photon is a particle of light. For more details, read the Wikipedia article on "photon".meant*A photon is like a particle of light. The minimum divisible quantity of light.

What is the electromagnetic force transmitted by?
Electromagnetic force is transmitted by photons. Photons are a particle representing a quantum of light or other electromagnetic radiation. It carries energy proportional to the radiation frequency but has zero rest mass.Ê
What is the name given to a specific quantum or particle of light?
A quantum of light is named as " PHOTON" . It is a basic packet or a bundle from which a beam of light is made of!
How do you define light?
Either as: A particle, the photon, A packet of energy, the quantum of electromagnetism(still known as the photon), and A wave of a specific frequency, a wave of radiation that has a certain energy
Light consists of bundle of energy called?
Photon.Bundles of light energy produced by electron movement are called photons. A photon is an elementary particle, the quantum of light and all other forms of electromagnetic radiation.
Which has greater energy a quantum of yellow light or a quantum of violet light?
Violet light has greater energy because it has higher frequency than yellow light
What are packet of light energy?
Quantum

When an electron moves up to a higher orbit a quantum of light energy is absorbed. This quantum of light energy is also known as?
photon
