Question about wave/particles interacting (lemmy.ml)

Does it make sense to ask: How hard does a photon hit an object?

Does the waviness of photons make that a dumb question? If it does then what is a more correct way of conceptualizing the interaction of a photon with, for example, a light receptor? Or does the analogy in my head of a ball hitting a wall fairly represent the behavior of a photon at the moment of impact?
