Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The name given to a discrete packet of light is a photon. A photon is the smallest unit of light and behaves both like a wave and a particle. The other answer choices, phaser and wavelength, are not related to discrete packets of light. Quantum is related to the study of energy at a molecular or atomic level, but it is a broader term and does not specifically refer to light packets.
