A photon is 'visible' once and only once. That's when it flies into your eye and
gets absorbed by the receptors in the back of your eye. If it gets absorbed by
something else before it reaches your eye, then you'll never see that photon.

Compare the frequency and energy of infrared rays to the frequency and energy of visible light?
Infrared waves are shorter than radio waves and longer than visible light waves.
Which has higher frequencies microwaves or visible lights?
Visible light has shorter wavelengths than microwaves. Microwaves, which might be considered the highest energy radio waves, have a longer wavelength (and a lower frequency) than visible light.
The longer the wavelength of light?
The longer the wavelength of light, the smaller its frequency, and the less energy there is for every photon.
What photon has lower energy infared or visible light?
infrared
In visible light color is an indication of?
Wavelength, Frequency, or Photon Energy
Why are there no substances that convert visible light into UV?
UV has higher energy (per photon) than visible light.
What am I visible to the eye but cannot be held by hand Lighter than a feather?
A photon.
Is a photon visible?
The photon doesn't have a figure one can relate to. We can't say a photon looks like this -- or like that, because there's nothing in the world we see with our eyes day by day that looks like a photon.
What ray is longer ultraviolet or visible rays?
All visible wavelengths are longer than the wavelength of ultraviolet.
What color is visible light sprectrum has the most energy per photon?
A photon's energy is directly proportional to its frequency (inversely proportional to its wavelength).In any given interval of the spectrum, the highest frequency (shortest wavelength) carries the most energy.For visible light, that corresponds to the violet end of the 'rainbow'. The last color your eyes can perceiveat that end is the color with the most energy per photon.
Do microwave photons have more energy than photons of visible light?
A microwave signal at 50 GHz has waves that are 10,000 times as long as a visible signal at yellow (600 nm) has. Therefore the yellow photon carries 10,000 times as much energy as the 50 GHz photon does.
What do the visible color of visible light represent?
wavelenghts of energy NOVANET! It represent different in energy of photon at different colour range. Different wavelength yield different colour whether we can see it or not. The evolution choose this range of light to be visible for abundant of such spectrum range from the sun while some animal can see light at lower wavelength to infrared especially for Nocturnal. Energy content of a photon can simply express by Planck-Einstein equation E = hc/L where E = Energy in a photon h = Planck constant c = speed of light and L = wavelength Longer wavelength -> Red = lesser energy Shorer wavelength -> Violet = higher energy
