Two models were developed to explain what light is, the photon model, which depicts light as a particle, and the wave model. In the field of quantum mechanics it is now recognized that light is both a particle and a wave (sometimes called a wavicle).
Although the particle and wave models of the photon are mutually exclusive a particle model is necessary for the explanation of some experimental results (e.g., the photoelectric effect) whereas for other experiments a wave picture is used. Use of Bohr's Complementarity Principle leads us to consider the question of "What is light, really?" to be meaningless because there is no procedure by which that question can be answered. However, those two models can be reconciled if the wave is a PROBABILITY wave and not the Maxwell sinusoidal wave. Another possibility for reconciliation arises if one considers the photon as a wave packet, as Einstein did very early in his career. A useful model of the photon as a particle has been put forward by G. Hunter and associates in which the photon is considered as an ellipsoidal soliton.

The particle model of light entails that light consists of tiny packages of energy called photons. Because light is an electromagnetic wave the model is a part of the general model for electromagnetism. This model is called Quantum Electrodynamics, or QED in short.
As of my last update, Photon Infotech is reported to be at CMMI Level 5, which is the highest level of maturity in the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) framework. This signifies that Photon Infotech has well-defined and effective processes in place for managing projects and delivering high-quality products and services.
The rest mass of a photon is considered to be zero because photons are massless particles. They travel at the speed of light in a vacuum and do not possess rest mass. This is a fundamental property of photons in the Standard Model of particle physics.
The opposite of a photon is an antiphoton.

A packet of light energy is called a photon.
The rest mass of a photon is considered to be zero because photons are massless particles. They travel at the speed of light in a vacuum and do not possess rest mass. This is a fundamental property of photons in the Standard Model of particle physics.
The opposite of a photon is an antiphoton.
The energy of a photon is inversely propotional to its wavelength. The wavelength of a blue photon is less than that of a red photon. That makes the blue photon more energetic. Or how about this? The energy of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency. The frequency of a blue photon is greater than that of a red photon. That makes the blue photon more energetic. The wavelength of a photon is inversely proportional to its frequency. The the longer the wavelength, the lower the frequency. The shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency.
Photon flux can be calculated using the formula: photon flux = v * E, where v is the frequency of the photons and E is the energy of each photon. By multiplying the frequency of the photons by the energy of each photon, you can determine the photon flux.

. . . photon.
No. A photon is a particle of light. It is massless.
