Can quantum of light be associated with particle?

Explanation

Photoelectric effect gave one unusual fact that when light interact with matter it behave as if it is made up of discrete quantum.Energy of each quantum is hv.
There are two evidences that light can be associated with particle.
(i)Einstein derived an important result that quantum of light has momentum of `(hv)/(c)` where h=planck.s constant v =frequency of light and c=speed of light.
Thus,quantum of light has energy of hv and momentum of `(hv)/(c)`.Hence quantum of light can be associated with particle .Quantum of particle is called photon.
(ii)Another evidence to associate light of quantum with particle was given by scientist A.H. Compton in 1924.He made experiment of scattering of X-ray by using electron.
In 1921,Einstein was awarded Nobel prize for theoretical physics and invention of photoelectric effect.
In 1923,Millikan was awarded Nobel prize for his work on invenrion of elementary charged particles and work on photoelectric effect.
