Photon is a quantum of light or a single packet/particle of light at a given wavelength.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

It is known that light has dual nature of wave as well as particles. Light waves can behave in wave nature as well as in particle nature depending upon the situation. So the light waves are assumed in different views to easily understand the nature of light waves.

There are several models proposed to simplify the nature of light. Among the several assumptions, one of the most prominent observations are that light waves or quantum of light are termed as photons which are made up of single packet/particles of light in a given wavelength.
