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.
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.
What is the difference between the red and blue colors of light?
Wavelength Frequency and Photon Energy
Does blue light carry more energy per photon than red light?
Yes it does.
Why does red absorb more light than blue?
Red does as it absorbs photons at blue end of the spectrum( the higher energy) and reflects light at the red end of the spectrum (a lower energy). While the blue light absorbs energy at the red end of the spectrum and reflects blue light
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.
Does a red flame indicate a low energy?
A red flame has a lower energy than a blue flame, if the color arises from the photon radiation of the flame itself due to the flame's temperature. However, some inorganic ions emit red light when introduced into blue flames, and this kind of red flame does not necessarily have a lower energy than the original blue flame.
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
Is a red light photon a higher energy than a radio photon?
he duble hockey sticks no.
Which had the lower energy quanta red light or blue light?
Light of is made up of a finite number of photons, or light quanta. The energy of each photon is proportional to the frequency of the light, and hence inversely proportional to the wavelength of the light. Red light has a longer wavelength than blue light, so the quantum of red light has less energy than the quantum of blue light.
Could you emit the same amount of light energy per second which must emit more photons per second a source of red light or a source of blue light?
Red light has less energy per photon than blue light, so to get the same energy we would need more red photons.
What happens to a photon when it hits a leaf?
the photon's energy is either reflected green (because its a leaf) or its absorbed red, because red is the opposite of green and the red is not seen.
