Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that light exhibits both wave-like and particle-like properties, a concept known as wave-particle duality.
Recall that a discrete packet or quantum of light energy is called a photon.
Recognize that electrons, neutrons, and protons are subatomic particles but are not related to packets of light energy.
Identify that the term 'photon' specifically refers to the smallest unit or quantum of electromagnetic radiation, including light.
Conclude that the correct term for a discrete packet of light energy is 'photon'.
