light and energy

[mee]

How can a photon carry differing amounts of energy if it is the same size and speed as all other photons? Does this make any sese to anybody?

What does "size" mean in reference to photons?

I assumed, perhaps in error, that in its particle state a photon would occupy a region of space of relatively regular dimension for all photons. If you think I'm an idiot, I'm only a student of physics not a master you know so asking me instead of someone else seems to perhaps be a bit of a mistake on your part.
