Yes, due to the energy of photons/electromagnetic particles being determined by the equations below:

E= hv=hc(1/v)= hc/wavelength.

Where E= energy, v= frequency in Hz, h= Planck's constant, c= speed of light

Electrons have a very short wavelength, and a very high frequency, thus they have much more energy than a beam of light.

No. An X-ray photon carries more energy than a photon of any visible wavelength.

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.


Does blue light carry more energy per photon than red light?

Yes it does.


Why a photon of red light has less penetrative ability than a gamma ray photon?

I think it is because a photon has less energy that is why it has less ability than a gamma ray photon


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.


Does visible light have more or less energy than ultraviolet light?

Well, first of all, protons don't make light. I think you mean 'photons'. A photon of ultraviolet light carries more energy than a photon of visible light, because it has a higher frequency / shorter wavelength.


Is a red light photon a higher energy than a radio photon?

he duble hockey sticks no.


Do Gamma rays have more energy than light rays?

Theoretically, gamma rays are distinguished by their source, not by the amount of energy each photon carries, so it's not really possible to answer.In practice, most gamma rays have far more energy per photon than visible light.


Is it true that ultraviolet light carries more energy than infrad radiation?

im 75% positive that it does penetrate deeper than infrared radiation.


Which has more photons a bright red light or a dim blue light?

Whatever the colors are, the brighter light results from the beam of more photons. But each individual blue photon carries more energy than each individual red photon.


Which color of the visible spectrum contain the most energy?

Each photon of blue light has more energy than a photon of any other color, because the blue ones have the highest frequency.


Which has more energy a photon of red light or photon of violet light?

The violet light has more energy than the red light. Red light is lower on the electromagnetic spectrum, meaning it has a lower frequency (or longer wavelength). You'll recall the colors of the rainbow as red, orange, yellow, etc., and these are the colors going up the frequency spectrum. Photons higher on the spectrum are higher in frequency and energy.


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
