My partner and I are casually chatting about how strange the electromagnetic spectrum is, as we sometimes do. The idea came up of creating an antenna that vibrates at the right frequency to produce various colors of light. But then I remembered that “light is both a wave and a particle” … so can someone how photons (right?) relate to the rest of the electromagnetic spectrum?

Photons are the entire electromagnetic spectrum. All light is photons.
Light behaves both like a wave and like a particle. When it’s behaving like a particle, that particle is called a photon.
Different colors of light are photons with different energy levels.
