Hi G_burnett and all,
To my understanding of the quantum particle, it is a universal constant with a definite quantity of energy that can not be lost and thus to me, it is the most basic particle of energy. But I agree with you, that light or electromagnetic radiations can be slowed when it is passed through a denser medium eg. light passing through water. However, this does not mean that the individual quanta particles that make up the light, are slowed down or have lost energy; it could mean that the individual quanta particles have to travel further, eg. moving from one atom of the water to another as it moves through the water.
Yours Cosvis.
