The shortest wavelengths have the most energy because it has the highest frequency. A high energy light will have a shorter wavelength than a low energy light. If the wavelength goes down, then the frequency goes up. When calculating energy in the equation, E=hv, frequency (v) is the variable, not the wavelength. So in the equation, if you wanted a more energy (E), you would have the frequency be large. For the frequency to be big, then the wavelength has to be low. So no UV light doesn't have the most energy Gamma rays do though.

Does UV or red light have more energy?
UV light has higher frequency, so it has more energy than red light has
Why do some materials glow in ultraviolet - UV - light?
UV light is invisible to the human eye, which is why it is sometimes referred to as 'black light'. However, some materials (e.g. DayGlo) can absorb UV energy and convert it into visible light energy. They are said to be fluorescent.
Which photon has the greatest energy?
All particles which represents a quantum of light and other electromagnetic radiation is called photon. The photons with the highest energies are gamma or X-rays, UV light, Blue light, and radio waves.
What is elctromagnetic energy?
Energy that is radiated in a wave such as radio waves, white light, uv light and xray.
Which metal ion produces the light with the highest energy?
K+ produces the highest energy light. Na+ is a lie
Does UV or red light have more energy?
UV light has higher frequency, so it has more energy than red light has
Basic principle of uv?
The basic principle is that UV light is high energy light with shorter wavelength.
How do you use the word ultraviolet in a sentence?
Ultraviolet is a type of electromagnetic radiation. It has a higher frequency than visible light. It is called ultraviolet because violet light has the highest energy of the colours. UV light has more energy, and hence ultraviolet.
Why are there no substances that convert visible light into UV?
UV has higher energy (per photon) than visible light.

What color of the visible light spectrum has the highest energy?
Violet light has the highest energy.
What is elctromagnetic energy?
Energy that is radiated in a wave such as radio waves, white light, uv light and xray.
Does UV light vibrate too quickly to see it?
UV light vibrates at a rate so fast that the naked eye cannot see it. Light energy's vibration is invisible to the naked eye, whether UV or not.
Which metal ion produces the light with the highest energy?
K+ produces the highest energy light. Na+ is a lie
Is visible light higher than ultavoilet waves?
If you are talking about energy then no, UV has higher energy than visible light.
Which type of energy gives us sunburn?
Electromagnetic energy waves on the UV light spectrum.Ultraviolet.UVB
