Hello,
What does less than one photon mean? 0.5 or 1/2 photon what does it mean?

A photon is a fundamental particle of light that carries energy and travels at the speed of light.
No, a photon is considered to be a discrete unit of light and cannot be divided into smaller parts.
A photon is typically measured using a device called a photodetector, which counts the number of photons that hit the detector.
This means that there is not enough energy present to create a full photon. It may also refer to the probabilistic nature of photons, where there is a chance that no photons will be present in a given area.
Yes, studying the behavior of photons at very low energy levels can provide valuable insights into the quantum nature of light and the behavior of particles on a microscopic scale. This can have applications in fields such as quantum computing and cryptography.
