Difference between a quantum and a photon

It explains the difference between quantum, photon, and light energy. All these three terms refer to discrete packets of energy that a body can absorb or emit. It follows Planck's quantum theory.<br>For more information on this topic, kindly visit our blog article at;<br>https://jayamchemistrylearners.blogspot.com/2022/09/planck-quantum-theory-numerical.html

  1. Quantum theory In 1900, Max Planck explained the particle nature of light with his theory known as Planck's quantum theory. What is light energy? Light energy is a form of electromagnetic radiation that comprises photon particles. Light energy The oscillations of electrically charged bodies produce it. Their wavelengths lie in the visible region so the human eye can observe them Joule, erg, and eV are light energy units in the SI, CGS, and atomic units. Light is electromagnetic radiation that a human eye can perceive. What is a quantum? Quantum Max Planck introduced the phrase quantum to express the energy particles of black body radiations. Later, quantum became popularized as a bundle of the form of energy except for the light. So the Planck theory is commonly known as quantum theory. It is a particle of discrete energy It includes mechanical, chemical, electrical, thermal, sound, and nuclear energy. What is a photon? Photon Isaac Newton further extended Planck's quantum theory to explain the photoelectric effect. To demonstrate the radiant energies of photoelectrons, he introduced the term photon. Hence, the photon indicates the discontinuous packets of light energy. The particle nature of light is confirmed by photon assumption practically. The discrete chunks of light energy are known as a photon. Blog:https://jayamchemistrylearners.blogspot.com/
