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.

∙ 13y agoI think you have phrased this question wrong as a photon is a single packet of energy that we call light and it is what wavelenth the particles are at that determine where it is on the elecromagnetic spectrum. So in answer to your question a Ultraviolet BEAM of photons has a higher WAVELEGNTHthan a infared beam of photons.

∙ 11y agoEach individual photon of visible light is less energetic than any individual photon of ultraviolet light.
tl;dr: Less.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoUltraviolet light has much more energy than infrared.
Wiki User
∙ 10y agoFrom that list of choices, the ultraviolet photon is the most energetic.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoUltraviolet ...
the higher the frequency the higher the energy.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoThe UV photon has more than double the frequency,
so has has more than double the energy.

Is it posible for a fluorescent material to emit radiation the ultraviolet region after observing visible light explain?
not possible, as visible light photons have less energy and ultraviolet photons need more energy. Energy can neither be created nor be destroyed. So by conservation principle ultraviolet photon as they fall on fluorescent material could give out less energetic light photons, but the converse is not possible.
Why is infra-red radiation rather than visible light used with optic fibers?
Infra-red has less energy the visible light, and so it takes less energy to create.
Is the frequency of infrared light higher than visible light?
No. X-Rays have a greater frequency than visible light. In order of increasing frequency(or decreasing wavelength). Radio waves, Microwaves, Infra-red radiation, Visible light, Ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, Gamma rays.
Why is there no substance that convert visible light to UV?
UV photons have more energy (less wavelength, higher frequency) than visible light photons. It is possible to convert photons to ones with less enery, but not the opposite.
Visible light and other waves of energy are forms of?
Visible light and other waves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum. These waves unlike sound waves can travel through vacuums and do so at c (3x10^8 m/s). The spectrum is very broad and includes microwaves, ultraviolet , x-rays, and our own visible light spectrum. These waves are differentiated based on their frequency but all contain photons, mass-less charge-less particles, hence the dual nature of light (light and other waves behave both as particles and waves, confusing i know :P) basically what this means is that the only difference between visible light, x-rays, and microwaves is the frequency of the photon wave.

Compare and contrast ultraviolet light waves and visable light?
Wavelength of violet is the shortest and that for red is the longest in the visible region. So for ultra violet the wavelength is to be less still and that for infra red it has to be larger than red So wavelength increases as we move through UV, visible and IR.
Do ultraviolet wavelengths have higher energy levels?
More energy per photon than visible light, if that's what you mean.
What is the wavelength or ultraviolet?
Less than that of visible light. The Wikipedia lists a wavelength between about 100 and 310 nm.
Does ultraviolet light carry more energy than infrared radiation?
Yes. Radiations on the "red" end of the spectrum, such as radio, microwave, and infrared, have markedly less energy than visible light. Frequencies on the "purple" end, on the other hand, such as ultraviolet, x-ray, and gamma, have considerably more.
Why is infra-red radiation rather than visible light used with optic fibers?
Infra-red has less energy the visible light, and so it takes less energy to create.
How the wave lenght and radio vary from gamma rays?

Does ultraviolet radiation have longer wavelengths then violet light?
Yes, it does. UV-C wavelength is 200-280 nanometers, UV-B is 280-320 nm, and UV-A is 320-400nm.
Does infrared high or low energy?
Infrared radiation has less energy (per photon) than visible light.
Is the frequency of infrared light higher than visible light?
No. X-Rays have a greater frequency than visible light. In order of increasing frequency(or decreasing wavelength). Radio waves, Microwaves, Infra-red radiation, Visible light, Ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, Gamma rays.
Why is there no substance that convert visible light to UV?
UV photons have more energy (less wavelength, higher frequency) than visible light photons. It is possible to convert photons to ones with less enery, but not the opposite.
Does an infrared have have more or less energy than an ultraviolet wave?
Infrared waves have far less energy than ultraviolet, being much further down the spectrum.
