This is a tricky question because there is more than one form of energy in light. There is the energy that each particle of light (the photon) has and there is group energy which is the sum total of all the photon energy as they travel as a group (like in a laser beam).

But the good news is that the answer is FALSE for both the photon and group energies. Photon energy depends on the photon fundamental frequency. And the higher the energy the bluer the color, which can run from red to violet. Those photons in the violet color have higher energy than photons in the red color frequency.

And group energy is just the sum of all the photon energies in a group, like a light beam from your flashlight (aka, torch). So for a given mix of photons, the more photons in the group the higher is the group energy level. What we call light intensity (e.g., bright or dim) depends on the group energy with high energy equating to high intensity.

Does an electron have the same amount of enery in all orbitals?

All of the orbitals in the same energy sublevel (s, p, d, f) have the same amount of energy. For example, each of the 3p orbitals have the same energy and all of the electrons in the 3p orbitals have the same energy.

How does the amount of energy in batteries in a flashlight compare to the total amount of energy given off byt the flashlight as light and heat?

All of the energy in the battery, or most of it, is eventually given off as heat and light.


Photo energy is the same for all wavelengths of light?

False

What other energy transfers energy the same way as infrared?

All electromagnetic energy (radio, light, X-rays, etc.) do the same.


Is photon energy the same for all wavelengths of light?

No, photon energy is not the same for all wavelengths of light. The energy of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency, so different wavelengths of light can have different photon energies. Shorter wavelengths of light have higher energy photons, while longer wavelengths have lower energy photons.


Do all colors of light have the same energy?

Actually no. Energy equals Planck's constant times frequency.


Which color light has maximum energy?

The amount of energy is directly proportional to the frequency of the light. Since violet has the greatest frequency, it also has the maximum energy and red has the least.

How much energy is used by a single 4 foot fluorescent light?

There are actually a wide variety of different kinds of 4 foot fluorescent lamps, which do not all use the same amount of energy. However, 40 watts is typical.


What does E-mc mean?

The equation E=mc^2 represents Einstein's theory of relativity, where E is energy, m is mass, and c is the speed of light. It shows that mass and energy are interchangeable, and a small amount of mass can be converted into a significant amount of energy.
