you see how close the wavelengths are-- the closer, the more powerful it is. Here are the wavelengths- from least powerful to most powerful: Radiowaves, Microwaves, Infared Waves, Visable Light, Ultraviolet, X-rays, and Gamma rays.

How long are X-ray wavelengths compared with ultraviolet wavelengths?
Ultraviolet photons have wavelengths below 400nm. X-ray photons have wavelengths between 0.01nm - 10nm. Photons with wavelengths smaller than xrays' are called gamma rays.
What is optical absorption spectroscopy?
This is the absorption of photons with specific wavelengths by different types of materials.
What compounds are affected by photons of light?
Certain plant molecules are calledpigments are chemically affected by photons of light from the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Electrons within pigment molecules are excited to higher energy levels when bombarded by certain wavelengths of light. This produces an unstable high-energy state that can be harnessed by plants. In this way, energy from the sun powers photosynthesis.
Energy of visible light can be measured in organized packets called?
The energy of visible light can be measured in organized packets called photons. These photons have discrete values of energy, meaning there is exact amounts of energy these have, and don't vary in decimal places.
What is the effect of absorbing photons of energy on ozone?
Photons are absorbed by ozone. These photons are of UV.
Photons with shorter wavelengths have larger what?
More frequency, and more energy.
Electromagnetic waves whose photons carry the highest energy also have the:?
shortest wavelengths
How long are X-ray wavelengths compared with ultraviolet wavelengths?
Ultraviolet photons have wavelengths below 400nm. X-ray photons have wavelengths between 0.01nm - 10nm. Photons with wavelengths smaller than xrays' are called gamma rays.
Will a UV lamp give energy to a solar panel?
The main problem with solar panels is that they can only utilize energy from a few discrete wavelengths, which are not in the ultraviolet range. It is a matter of quantum physics: the electrons in the atoms in the solar panel will only be excited by photons that match their energy levels. Unlike incandescent lamps, which, like the sun, emits photons in a continuum of different wavelengths, the different varieties of UV lamps release photons from atoms at discrete wavelengths, with very little, if any, photons in the visible range that might be fodder for solar panel usage.
What is the measure of a photons energy?
so term in volt be it millivolt or petavolts it will vary on energy
What is the gamma region?
A region of the electromagnetic spectrum that has very short wavelengths and very high energy photons (gamma rays)
Do smaller wavelengths carry less energy?
No. Shorter wavelength quanta packages called photons carry more energy the shorter the wave length gets.
What do light sensors do?
Light sensors measure the number of photons or the energy of light hitting the sensor.
What causes the lines in an atomice spectrum?
wavelengths of absorbed or emitted photons
What do light sensors measures?
Light sensors measure the number of photons or the energy of light hitting the sensor.
How does the arrangement of electron configuration creates different wavelengths?
It determines the different energy levels. When excited electrons drop back to normal level, energy is released as light photons. Different colors for different frenquencies.
What is optical absorption spectroscopy?
This is the absorption of photons with specific wavelengths by different types of materials.
