Photons with the highest energy have?

highest frequency / shortest wavelength / same speed as all other photons.


Which type of em spectrum has the highest wavelength?

The energy of EM radiation depends on its frequency, and the lowest frequency corresponds to the lowest energy. Radio waves are at the low end of the energy and frequency spectrum.


What part of the spectrum has the highest frequency?

The part with the shortest wavelength has.


What wave has the shortest wavelength and the highest frequency?

x-ray


What waves have the shortest wavelength in the highest frequency?

Gamma waves


Which light wave has the shortest wavelength and the highest frequency?

VIOLET


Does UV light have the highest energy?

The shortest wavelengths have the most energy because it has the highest frequency. A high energy light will have a shorter wavelength than a low energy light. If the wavelength goes down, then the frequency goes up. When calculating energy in the equation, E=hv, frequency (v) is the variable, not the wavelength. So in the equation, if you wanted a more energy (E), you would have the frequency be large. For the frequency to be big, then the wavelength has to be low. So no UV light doesn't have the most energy Gamma rays do though.


Is the longest wavelength violet?

No. In the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, the waves at the red end have the longest wavelength (lowest frequency), and those at the violet end have the shortest wavelength (highest frequency).


Light wave of what color have the shortest wavelength and the highest frequency?

Violet.


Which colour has the shortest wavelength?

Shortest wavelength means the highest frequency, meaning the photons have the highest energy. That is color violet. The violet light colors the skin brown. Red light with lower energy photons cannot do that.


What waves have the shortest wavelenght?

Gamma rays are the waves with the shortest wavelength. The waves having highest frequency have the shortest wavelength. As gamma rays have the highest frequency starting from 10^19 and onwards so they have the shortest wavelength starting from 10^-11 and decreasing.


Which color of visible light has the highest frequency?
