Light quanta - usually called photons.
Yes, heat radiation is often referred to as infrared radiation because it falls within the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. It is the type of electromagnetic radiation that we feel as heat when emitted by objects.
German physicist Max Planck came up with the concept of black body radiation in 1900, known as Planck's law, by proposing that electromagnetic energy is emitted in discrete packets called quanta. This theory played a significant role in the development of quantum mechanics.
The energy received by Earth from the sun in the form of radiation is called solar radiation. This includes visible light, ultraviolet light, and other forms of electromagnetic radiation emitted by the sun.
Waves given off by hot glowing objects are called electromagnetic radiation, which includes visible light, infrared radiation, and ultraviolet radiation. The specific wavelengths emitted depend on the temperature of the object - the hotter the object, the shorter the wavelengths emitted.
Radiation is the process by which energy is emitted from a source and propagated through the surrounding medium, or the energy involved in this process. Radiation consists of a flow of atomic or subatomic particles or of waves. Familiar examples are light (a form of electromagnetic radiation) and sound (a form of acoustic radiation). Both electromagnetic and acoustic radiation can be described as waves with a range of frequencies and intensities. Electromagnetic radiation is also often treated as discrete packets of energy, called photons. All matter is constantly bombarded by radiation from cosmic and terrestrial sources, and radioactive elements emit several types of radiation .
He called the packets photons.

The energy is called electromagnetic radiation (light energy).

The emission of electromagnetic radiation by an excited atom is called spontaneous emission. This process occurs when an atom transitions from a higher energy state to a lower energy state, releasing a photon in the form of electromagnetic radiation in the process.
The packet of electromagnetic radiation is the photon.

The term for the small packets of energy emitted from light is called photons.
