When a quantum leap occurs, a single photon is emitted.
A "quantum leap" is generally used in the context of "business-speak" or "politico-speak" where the speaker is implying that some event, or process, or decision represents a large change of great significance.

∙ 13y agoA photon is a particle of light. It's a quantity of light but they don't have mass, and therefore they're not considered to be matter. On the other hand electrons do have mass, and are considered matter.
There are many relationships between photons and electrons, but the most well known is the photoelectric effect. That is, photons can influence the energy of electrons when they hit them. If they hit them hard enough (ionization energy) photons can make electrons leave the orbitals of the atom.

Which particle is most involved with quantum theory?
The photon - definitely.
What do you call a particle of light with zero mass which carries a quantum of energy?
I call it a 'photon'.By the way, the photon has zero rest mass, but when it travels at the speed of light ...which it always does ... it has some mass.
What is law of quantum energy and quantum mass?
In the universe energy, matter and go as per quantum. Energy is released in quantum of photon. Electron has a quantum mass. Proton has quantum mass. Both has a quantum charge. Neutron has a quantum mass. Speed of light is a quantum. Big bang is a quantum event essentially occurring at particular mass. It takes a quantum energy for shifting of electrons from one shell to other. In photo-luminescence light energy is released in quantum.
Can two photons interact with an electron simultaneously?
Yes. This effect is called "two-photon absorption" or "two-photon stimulated emission" and is described by the second order term in quantum-mechanics perturbation theory.
What is a unit or quantum of light a particle of electromagnetic radiation that has zero res mass and carries a quantum of energy?
E=hv E= energy h=plank's constant v=is the frequency of the photon in question.
What is a quantum of electromagnetic energy called?
. . . photon.
A photon is a quantum of light energy true of false?
True, a photon is a quantum of energy, E=hf.
What is a quantum of light's?
A photon
What is an individual quantum of light?
photon
The quantum of light is called?
photon
What does a quantum look like?
A 'quantum' is a very very very small, but discrete amount of something. For example a quantum of light is called a photon, you cannot get a smaller 'piece' of light than one photon.
Who named the photon?
Max Planck came up with the idea of a photon of energy, suggesting that instead of waves, each photon had a discrete amount, or a quantum hence the foundation of quantum mechanics. I assume it was him who gave it the name.
A quantum of light The answer is a 6-letter word?
Photon
Which particle is most involved with quantum theory?
The photon - definitely.
A unit or quantum of light a particle of electromagnetic radiation that has zero rest mass and carries a quantum of energy?
Photon
What is a particle of electromagnetic radiation with no mass that carries a quantum of energy?
Photon

photon
