One wave length may represent a section of the visual spectrum ( say we are looking a visual spectrum) which may contain many colours for example... so I ask ...will the colours in the spectrum be represented by one particle each...
I find the complexity that must be associated with light to be contained in one particle hard to imagine and understand ....anyways even if each wave length of all the EME spectrums in the Universe there will be certainly a lot of particles set aside for the job of moving EME around the Universe.

I expect if worked with as a particle it is seen that each particle has no mass... I am sure that is the way it is...or is it???

AND if we treat light as a particle what do we call the particle? A photon I expect but is there a term to in effect say "at this point we deal with a particle (which has the quality of duality) so we call it...???? "

Sorry if my questions are all over the place but light is not easy for me to understand.
