For light the photon has about 200 wavelength.
Radio wave "photon" is as long as transmitter works.

I'll give you a partial agreement on this one. The rods in our eyes have
peak sensitivity at Yellow/green. There was a guy, a long time ago who
said he could detect a single photon in a very dark lab. So, if a photon
is anything anyhow a particle

In optics the light is in form of packets (oscillations for short time and
next brake - of course there are many sources).

how could he see it since the equipment was set up to radiate into a
detector. It may not be in our lifetimes that the true nature of light is
discovered.

Why?
If we can produce the artificial light (LEDs, laser) and we know that radio
waves are the same then we know all.
Radio waves are very convinient to analise.
They are the longitudinal electric waves which propagate in the electron
see.
It is very old theory. The only trouble was with the polarization. But now
radio people know that the dipole is polarised. In nature all light sources
are in form of dipoles.
