According to Plancks quantum theory of radiation energy is not emitted or absorbed in continuous manner, but discontinuously inthe form of small packets of energy called quanta.
A photon is a single quantum of light, and is referred to as a"light quantum".
So we can say thatquantum is a small packet of any form of energy. But photon is small packet of light energy.
