SUMMARY
Photons are massless particles that do not possess a defined radius. The energy of a photon is determined by the equation E = h * f, where E is energy, h is Planck's constant, and f is frequency. The discussion clarifies that the concept of a "radius" for photons is not applicable, as they are considered point-like particles in quantum mechanics. For further information, a reference link to a relevant source on photon size is provided.
