Why is the energy of a photon greater than that of an electron?
It does not. A photon has no rest mass an electron has mass and therefore more energy
Which is more energetic a red photon or a blue photon?
The energy of a photon is inversely propotional to its wavelength. The wavelength of a blue photon is less than that of a red photon. That makes the blue photon more energetic. Or how about this? The energy of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency. The frequency of a blue photon is greater than that of a red photon. That makes the blue photon more energetic. The wavelength of a photon is inversely proportional to its frequency. The the longer the wavelength, the lower the frequency. The shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency.
What is the difference in electron movement when you observe a red color of light and a blue color of light?
The energy jump of an electron producing blue light is greater than the energy jump of an electron producing red light.
Could an atom emit one photon of blue light after absorbing only one photon of red light?
No, it could not. A blue photon carries more energy than a red photon, since the blue photon's frequency is higher. That means one red photon wouldn't deliver enough energy to the atom to give it the energy to emit a blue photon.
How does raman effect differ from compton effect?
In the Raman effect, a photon is scattered inelastically (meaning it has a different, lower, energy after scattering than before) from an atom or molecule, causing excitation, i.e., raising an electron to a higher energy level.In the Compton effect, a photon is scattered inelastically from an atom or molecule, causing ionization, i.e., ejecting an electron from the atom or molecule.
Why is the energy of a photon greater than that of an electron?
It does not. A photon has no rest mass an electron has mass and therefore more energy
Can the electron in the ground state of hydrogen absorb a photon of energy 13.6eV and greater than 13.6eV?
yes , the electron in the ground state of the hydrogen atom will absorb a photon of energy 13.6ev but not greater than 13.6 ev . because 13.6 ev is the energy which excites the hydrogen atom
If an electron and photon both have energy of 5 mega electron volt which will cause pair production?
pair production only occurs with photons. The necessary condition is that the energy of the photon is greater than that of the two particles that are going to be produced. With 5 mega electron volts as an energy your photon would still not have enough juice as the two smallest particles that can be build are electron and its anti patricle the positron. Both have 511 MeV. You are looking at a trickquestion as neither can.

What is the highest energy photon that can be absorbed by a ground-state hydrogen atom without causing ionization?
yes , the electron in the ground state of the hydrogen atom will absorb a photon of energy 13.6ev but not greater than 13.6 ev . because 13.6 ev is the energy which excites the hydrogen atom
Define the quanta ground state exited stated?
By giving the atom additional energy (for example, by the absorption of a photon of an appropriate energy), the electron is able to move into an excited state (one with one or more quantum numbers greater than the minimum possible).
When comparing the energy of an electron in the 3d sub-level to that of an electron in the 4s sublevel of the same atom?
They are both capable of holding a maximum of 10
How does the energy of core electrons compare with energy of valence electrons?
The energy is higher.
Does an electron in the first energy shell have greater potential energy than an electron in the third energy shell?
electrons in the first electron shell have the lowest possible potential energy because YOUR MOM DROPPED U ON YOUR HEAD WHEN U WERE A BABY
What statement applies to the electron at state 2?
It possesses greater energy than the ground state.
Why is compton effect not observable with visible light?
in compton scattering it is necessary that the energy of the photon should be very much greater than binding energy of electron .. binding energy is equal to work function of metal . in most of metals , the threshold frequency is equal to that of ultravoilet light .that is why we do not observe comption effect with visible light.
According to the Bohr model what determines the color of light emitted when an electron moves from one energy level to another?
Let's start with a basic concept. The color of light is determined by its frequency. And higher frequency light has more energy than lower frequency light. As regards electrons shifting energy levels, when an electron wants to move to a lower energy level, it must radiate energy to do this. And the energy it radiates will be exactly the "right amount" for that electron to go to that lower energy leve. The greater the difference in the starting and finishing energy levels, the more energy the electron will have to radiate away. And this will determine what the energy of the photon will have to be. It will determine its frequency, and, therefore, its color.
