      Is a single photon also a Maxwellian wave?
    ==============
       Look into Wave-particle duality.
    It is a major part of Quantum Mechanics which answers your question.

    A quick summary: light is not just a wave, not just a particle.
    In some situations it behaves like a wave; in others it behaves like a particle.

    ============================

    Yeah, i can understand this explanation:
    Photon is like a cow, sometime it gives milk and  sometime - beef.

    Photon's puzzle. / by Socratus /
    ==============
    1) When photon travel  '' with absolute constant velocity its wavelength is infinite.''

    https://www.pa.msu.edu/courses/1997spring/PHY232/lectures/quantum/photons.html

    2)  Photon can have short  wavelengths  ''as photons with higher energy'' and
    photon also can have long wavelengths.

    https://www.pa.msu.edu/courses/1997spring/PHY232/lectures/quantum/photons.html

    Does somebody can explain: how photon can change its  infinite wavelength ( !)
      to another wavelengths:  short or long ?
      Thanks

    Sorry, i used wrong term : ''  infinite wavelength''
    i needed to write that photon with speed  c   ''has no wavelength.'' 
    So, photon travels with constant speed  c  without wavelength is a pure particle.
    This pure particle travels in a straight line.
      Question: '' When does wavelength of photon appear ?''

      Another aspect of photon.
    ===
    One postulate of SRT says: the speed of quantum of light in a Vacuum
    is a constant ( c= 299,792,458 km/ sec)  /  Michelson-Morley experiment  / In this movement quantum of light  DOESN'T  have TIME
    The time is stopped for him / it.
    Question: ''When does time of photon appear?''
    Another point.
    The time for photon with speed  c  doesn't exist.
    But this is possible only if his reference frame - vacuum -  also doesn't have time.
    It means that the reference frame - VACUUM  is a TIMELESS  continuum. ==================================.
