=================
What is a maximum frequency limit for light quanta
in respect to its constant velocity: c=1?
================
As far as regular physics is concerned, there is no theoretical limit .. it
is limited only by how much energy you can put into it.
There is the Planck frequency, the frequency at which its wavelength is the
Planck length.
What happens if a photon goes beyond that frequency is not clear.
If a plank frequency photon was coning toward you and you took a step toward
it, then the Doppler effect says you've just increased its frequency. I'm
not sure if doing that would somehow make the photon cease to exist for you
... but strange things happen at Planck scales with quantum physics :)
