I saw that post it explained that photon has a frequency , but my question is that if particle theory is used to overcome drawbacks of wave theory , then why quanta has a frequency just like waves . – user58660 Aug 02 '19 at 13:00

1See the question Frequency of a photon which directly address your question. – John Rennie Aug 02 '19 at 13:04

Thanks but they have explained it by using concepts that i have not studied yet. – user58660 Aug 02 '19 at 13:07

@user58660 - well, if it were explained using concepts you knew already, then you would know it. It is great you asked the question - you will find that good answers to questions will lead to other good questions! – Jon Custer Aug 02 '19 at 13:45

The photon behaves like a particle and a wave, both are correct to use depending on the problem. – PhysicsDave Aug 02 '19 at 14:12

I know but if we consider light to be of particle nature then it means that it transmits in the form of packeta of energy called quanta, but quanta itself has a frequency and acts like a wave then how particle nature is justified by quanta(which itself has a wavelenght and frequency) – user58660 Aug 02 '19 at 15:08
