In a way the classical standard dark age of science electrical mafia gatekeepers karnt answer Yes or No.
Or – they do answer – but their answer(s)  is of little help koz they have umpteen different explanations for what a photon is or isn't.
I think that the Poynting Field explanation for electricity duznt ever mention photons.
Do the Poyntingists reckon that radio is photons?  Dunno.
Anyhow – AVGresponding will gladly solve all of our problems – he/she has seen some good answers.

There is only one problem with this thread.

So -- u karnt answer the OP question -- & u karnt answer my question.
Answer or Answers -- how can u have good answers? -- duz this mean that there is no good answer?
Ok -- i ask u to provide the answer (ie the classical standard answer) -- or answers if u like (if there are worthy options).
And -- tell us -- what are the good answers in the first couple of pages?
U can take a few lines or a page -- whatever u like.

Whether photons are particles or waves has been a question that confused physicists’ minds for many years. Since the book is concerned about the interaction of light and matter, it is important to know the correct answer. Richard Feynman gives the answer very clearly.

“I want to emphasize that light comes in this form — particles. It is very important to know that light behaves like particles, especially for those of you who have gone to school, where you were probably told something about light behaving like waves. I’m telling you the way it does behave — like particles” (Feynman 15).

If you want proof, there is a thing called photomultiplier. A photomultiplier counts photons. You can’t count waves, but you can count particles.

I am relieved to see that you have found those missing "r"s.
