A quantum of energy is the most basic unit of energy.
According to the quantum theory put forward by German physicist Max Planck in 1900, energy exists as discrete particles called quanta. The energy of a quantum E is given by:
E = hf
where h is the Planck constant (h = 6.6 x 10-34)
and f is the frequency of the radiation.
The quantum of light energy is called a photon. It is the smallest possible discrete unit of light.
Photon
True, a photon is a quantum of energy, E=hf.
A quantum of light energy is called a photon. Photons are the fundamental particles that make up light and exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties.
The smallest quantum of energy for a wavelength of light is a photon, which carries a fixed amount of energy determined by its frequency. This energy is described by the equation E = hf, where E is energy, h is Planck's constant, and f is the frequency of the light.

Violet light has greater energy because it has higher frequency than yellow light

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.
Photon
Light waves have electromagnetic energy. Could be considered as quantum of energy with an expression E = h v. v is the frequency of light wave. h - Planck's constant. E - the energy possessed by the quantum. This quantum is also known as photon
