Wave-Particle Duality of Light. Quantum theory tells us that both light and matter consists of tiny particles which have wavelike properties associated with them. Light is composed of particles called photons, and matter is composed of particles called electrons, protons, neutrons.

Answer:
The quantum theory of light states that light travels in bundles of energy and each bundle is known a photon. Each photon carries a quantity of energy equaling to the product of the frequency of vibration of that photon and Planck's constant. The photon theory of light stems from Planck's quantum hypothesis and was confirmed using the photoelectric effect experiment.
