Best Answer

Different frequincies of light cause color, but a photon can not have color because it is only a single particle of light

Which color wavelengths would contain the most photon energy?

Red color


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.


In visible light color is an indication of?

Wavelength, Frequency, or Photon Energy


When a photon is emmit out from the atom its color is same as the atom color?

No. The color of the electron depends on the energy difference between the levels from/to which it is changing.


What is the relationship between color and frequency and energy of an electromagnetic wave?

En electromagnetic wave is assimilable to a photon. The energy of a photon is equal to its frequency (that determines its "color") multiplied by the Planck's constant (h).


What color is visible light sprectrum has the most energy per photon?

A photon's energy is directly proportional to its frequency (inversely proportional to its wavelength).In any given interval of the spectrum, the highest frequency (shortest wavelength) carries the most energy.For visible light, that corresponds to the violet end of the 'rainbow'. The last color your eyes can perceiveat that end is the color with the most energy per photon.


A change in wavelength produces what change on light?

Frequency, color, energy in each photon.


What determines the frequency ( color ) of photons?

Frequency determines color. Frequency is determined by the origin of the photon, i.e. emitted from an excited atom.


Why does violet has the most energy?

The highest energy photon the eye can sense has been called the color violet.

What colors do the Motorola Photon 4G come in?

The Motorola Photon 4g is a great phone! Unfortunately, it only comes in one color so far, black. But, you may buy a case for it, and that comes in many different colors.


When an electron falls from a higher energy level to a lower energy energy level how is the energy released?

The energy is released as electromagetic energy and each transition in each atom has its own wavelength for the light emitted.
