Hello,
Photon is actually a particle representing a quantum of light or other electromagnetic radiation .
A photon carries energy proportional to the radiation frequency but has zero rest mass.
Photons are always in motion and travels with a constant speed.
Hope it will helps you.
Thank you.

Hello!
A photon is the quantum of electromagnetic radiation & the term quantum is the smallest elemental unit of a quantity. Here are few properties of photons:
- Photons are always in motion and, in a vacuum, travel at a constant speed.
- Have 0 mass
- Have no electric charge
- Are stable
- When in empty space, they travel at the speed of light.
- Carry energy and momentum
I hope this helps.

Hey there
A photon is defined as the smallest discrete amount or quantum of electromagnetic radiation.
Some features of photon are listed below:-
Photons can explain phenomenon like photoelectric effect which the wave nature of light cannot explain
Thankyou
A photon is defined as the smallest discrete amount or quantum of electromagnetic radiation.
Some features of photon are listed below:-
- It is the basic unit that makes up all light.
- It is electrically neutral
- Photons are not defected by electric and magnetic field.
- In a photon particle collision ,the total energy and total momentum are conserved.
Photons can explain phenomenon like photoelectric effect which the wave nature of light cannot explain
Thankyou
