What is Speed of photon?
Photons, our word for the properties of light that make it seem particle-like, are massless and travel about 186,000 miles per hour in a vacuum.
How can an atom of size 1angstrom can absorb a photon of 5000 wavelength?
I presume you asking, "How can an atom of size about 1 angstrom absorb a photon whose wavelength is 5000 angstroms? Wouldn't the photon be too large for that atom?" The paradox is resolved in this way: the instant you start to discuss electro-magnetic radiation as a photon instead of a transverse electro-magnetic wave, then you negate the wave-length aspect of the light. Instead, you view light as a collection of photons -- particles whose "size" (if that word has meaning) is point-like -- with a specific energy instead of specific wavelength. A photon is NOT a snake-like wave, vibrating like a rubber band, with a length at least that of its wave-length, as it moves through a medium. A photon is a point particle with a specific energy. You can describe light as a EM wave with a wave-length OR as a collection of point particles. You can NOT do both at the same time. Light exhibits the characteristics of one OR the other, but NEVER both.
What word is used for materials that light cannot pass through?
The word is opaque.
Is it true that the light you see is called visable light?
By definition, the word "visible" means something you can see. Beware: you cannot see a light ray or beam or photon as it whizzes past you. You only see those rays that enter your eye. In a dusty atmosphere you might say you can see a light beam, but what you see is that part which is scattered into your eyes.

Is photon a personal pronoun?
No, the word 'photon' is a noun, a word for a elementary particle of light and other electromagnetic radiation; a word for a thing.A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun in a sentence. The pronoun that takes the place of the noun 'photon' is it.
What is the word Planck used for packet of energy?
photon
Who called packet of energies as photon?
The name photon derives from the Greek word for light, φως (transliterated phôs), and was coined in 1926 by the physical chemist Gilbert Lewis.
