Quanta are discrete packets. Photons are quanta of electromagnetic waves.

Also discrete here signifies that the packet is only of that particular size for that particular wavelength/frequency. So for v=1,2,3 and so on it is different in each case some might have bigger packets and some might have smaller ones. So for photon it becomes Quanta=hv, is for that frequency of photon you are considering.
