Under the photon theory of light, a photon is a discrete bundle (or quantum) of electromagnetic (or light) energy. Photons are always in motion and, in a vacuum, have a constant speed of light to all observers, at the vacuum speed of light (more commonly just called the speed of light) of c = 2.998 x 108 m/s.
The particle (photon) and wave (wavelength) characteristics of light. E =hf = zQ2c/w where Q is the photon charge and w is the wavelength. One problem with the above answer: the charge of a photon is zero. E(photon) = hf where 'h' is Planck's Constant and 'f' is the frequency of the vibrations of light. hf = hc/w where 'c' is the speed of light and 'w' is the wavelength of the light. The more correct answer on "What are the dual characteristics of light" is that light will sometimes act like a wave and sometimes act like a particle -- and what it acts like depends on what experiment you are performing.
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.
The opposite of a photon is an antiphoton.
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.

A packet of light energy is called a photon.

Not sure what you mean, as the photon is classified as a separate particle. Light, like electrons, sometimes displays particle characteristics and sometimes displays wave characteristics.

No, a photon is not time travelling
No. A photon is a particle of light. It is massless.
To increase the momentum of a photon, you can either increase its frequency or velocity. This can be achieved by changing the energy of the photon, as momentum is directly proportional to the energy of a photon.
