for all examples of wave energy except photons (that i am aware of) there is always a medium present yet light has observable frequency and wavelength characteristics so.. is "Dark Matter"
possibly the medium?

Hmmm ... what about gravity? There are gravity fields and gravitons and gravity waves. The only "medium" is space itself, and even there, the curvature of space is equivalent to gravity.

Light is made up of photons of varying wavelengths, so it does not require a medium.

solar generates easy as a results of thermonuclear reactions as is the case with each and all of the celebs. the quantity or the density of photons falling on a floor matter on the area from the solar. The solar isn't the same while seen from here on earth or on Pluto. there is not something astounding related to the quantity of photons emitted because it in keeping with a action picture star of solar's significance.

Light behaves either as a wave or as particles (photons), according to the situation!

Light (photons) can pass through a near perfect vacuum, like outer space; therefore they like their medium rare.
