What is difference between a quantum and a photon?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A quantum is a packet of energy of definite magnitude, which may or may not be light energy. A photon is a packet of light energy having a difinite magnitude. Thus, a quantum may not be a phoyon but photon is a quantum.
