hello poopoo.The word photon can be applied to any part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
 


photon can be consider as packet of energy with negligible mass.
 


photon not only refer to visible light, but also to all electromagnetic wave.
 


If i was traveling fast enough i could see the radio waves start to glow , because of the Doppler effect.
