-- I have to assume that the '520' figure is also a wavelength in nm.

-- The energy of a photon is proportional to its frequency. That also means

that the energy is inversely proportional to its wavelength. So the photon

with the greater wavelength has less energy.

-- 720/520 = 1.385

The shorter-wave photon has 38.5% more energy than the longer-wave one.

-- 520/720 = 0.722

The longer wave photon has 72.2% as much energy as the shorter-wave one has.

What is longer human skin cell or the wavelength of visible light?

Yes, the skin cell is much longer than the wavelength of visible light. The wavelength of visible light is in the range of hundreds of nanometers. Skin cells are much larger.


How does the wavelength of gamma rays compare to the wavelength of visible light?

It is electromagnetic radiation, which is the same in composition as visible light but has a much higher frequency/shorter wavelength, and will do damage to any biological material it passes through. Both travel at the same speed ('velocity of light') but gamma radiation can penetrate material opaque to visible light.


Does polyurethane protect against uv rays from the sun?

There is no indication that a thin layer would be much protection from UV-B or more energetic radiation from the Sun. It does absorb / emit quite broadly in the UV-A range.


Does Light photon has more energy than x-ray photon?

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.


Transition A produces light with a wavelength of 400 nm Transition B involves twice as much energy as A What wavelenth light does it produce?

Energy per photon is proportional to frequency. That tells us that it's alsoinversely proportional to wavelength.So if Photon-A has wavelength of 400-nm, then wavelength of Photon-Bwith twice as much energy is 200-nm .

What is the energy of electromagnetic waves such as light?

Energy varies with the wavelength. The shorter the wavelength the higher the energy. Ultraviolet much more energetic than red light.

Would X-rays or infrared light have more energy?

Electromagnetic waves comes in different frequencies; at higher frequencies, the wavelength is shorter. So, X-rays have a shorter wavelength, a higher frequency, and more energy per photon, than infrared light.


How does an ozone lamp work?

"Ozone lamps" are UV light sources that use quartz sleeves between the environment and the mercury plasma that produces the light, and does not have the titanium dioxide coating that absorbs short wave UV and makes lots of visible light (the usual fluorescent light bulb does this). Normal glass will absorb too much of the UV. Ozone in the tropopause is produced by 215nm (or more energetic) UV light, and mercury vapor lamps produce some light at a more energetic 185nm wavelength.

What is electromagnetic radiation with the shortest wavelength?

The gamma ray has the shortest wavelength (and shortest period) as well as the highest frequency (and highest energy) of all forms of electromagnetic radiation.That's the part of the spectrum that we call "gamma rays".There is no definite answer to this as we can have shorter and shorter wavelengths from a value which we have assigned to be the shortest wavelength.However, gamma rays have the shortest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum.Gamma radiation ;)The region of the spectrum that we call "gamma rays" has.

How can you decrease the wavelength of a transverse wave?

Speed (of the wave) = wavelength x frequency. You normally can't do much about the speed, but if you increase the frequency, you'll decrease the wavelength.

What color groups correctly shows increasing wavelength?

VIBGYOR= Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red, although indigo isn't really used too much anymore. This is the order of increasing wavelength, while the order of increasing frequency (the inverse of wavelength) is the more commonly known order, ROYGBIV.
