Photons of light.
Albert Einstein called the quanta of light energy "photons."
Individual quanta of light energy are called photons. Photons are the basic units of light and carry energy proportional to their frequency.
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.
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.
Light quanta are discrete packets of energy known as photons that make up electromagnetic radiation, including visible light. These particles exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties, and are the basic unit of light energy.
Quanta of light are called photons.
The quanta of light are called photons.
If the photon is having very less frequency (say v=1Hz) ,then the Energy of such photon will be the smallest one. It can be inferred that the smallest unit of light energy will correspond to the smallest frequency of such quanta. But from the uncertainty principle it limits the energy of a quanta.
Albert Einstein proposed the idea that light consists of quanta of energy in his paper on the photoelectric effect in 1905. This revolutionary concept helped to explain certain observations that the wave theory of light could not account for, and laid the foundation for the later development of the field of quantum mechanics.
Yes only in quanta of energy
Yes, it's basically the same thing. Light energy (for example) comes in quanta, or "packets", that can't be further subdivided. The quanta are identified with particles, known as "photons".
Quanta of energy, according to Planck's quantum theory, are small packets of energy which is transferred from one body to another, They are how the energy is present in nature according to Max planck.
