Do Photons with the highest energy have the longest period?

If you mean "period" as it's always used in connection with waves, then the answer is "No. Just the opposite." Photons with higher energy have shorter wavelength, higher frequency, and shorter period. To some readers, your use of the term "period" means the so-called 'half-life' of the photon, i.e. the length of time after which half the photons in a large group will spontaneously decay, either into other particles, or by losing half of their energy. That period of time is more than 6 billion years, and it does have some connection with the original energy of the photon. But again, photons with higher energy are more likely to decay and spontaneously form other particles, so in that sense, their 'period' is shorter, not longer.


All of its output energy is absorbed in a detector that measures a total energy of 0.53 J over a period of 32 s How many photons per second are being emitted by the laser?

Not enough information. Different photons have a different amount of energy, so you need some information about the photons' frequency, or alternately, their wavelength.


Make a hypothesis state which of three insulating materials you think will keep the inside temperature of the house higher than outside temperature for the longest period of time an explain why?

thermal energy molecule


Which of these values represents the longest period of time is it 35000 milliseconds or 350 seconds or 35 minutes or 0.35 hours?

35 minutes is the longer time period.


What are the colors in order of increasing wavelength?

The longest wavelengths of light are the lowest frequencies (and the lowest energy and the longest period, too). These are the reds, and moving up the spectrum, we encounter orange, yellow, green, blue and violet. The violet light has the shortest wavelength (highest frequency), and the highest energy. The infrared (IR) is below the red (longer wavelength and lower frequency), and the ultraviolet (UV) is above the violet (shorter wavelength and higher frequency).

What does the period tell you about electrons?

The period tells you how many energy levels an atom has.


Which elements has the highest ionization energy?

Helium (He) has the highest ionization energy, then Neon (Ne) Ionization energy increases as you go across a period from left to right. Ionization energy decreases as you go down a group. Therefore, elements in the upper right of the periodic table have the highest ionization energy.

How is the number of energy levels in an atom related to the periodic number?

The period number is the same as the highest energy level containing electrons for the atoms in that period.

Period in chemistry?

A period is a horizontal row on the periodic table of the elements. There are seven periods on the periodic table. Each period corresponds to the highest energy level that contains electrons. For example, the elements in the first period have electrons in the first energy level, which is the only energy level available; the elements in the second period have their highest energy electrons in the second energy level; the elements in the third period have their highest energy electrons in the third energy level, and so on.
