Frequency determines color. Frequency is determined by the origin of the photon, i.e. emitted from an excited atom.
What else can I help you with?
What do 2 photons of the same frequency have in common?
Wavelength, energy, color (if visible).
Does orange has?
An orange that you eat has molecules and the color orange only has photons of a specific frequency.
Which color photons contain the highest energy?
Blue photons contain the highest energy among visible light photons. The energy of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency, and blue light has a higher frequency than other colors in the visible spectrum.
How does the color of the light bulbs determine the amount of energy of the electromagnetic waves?
The "color" is really a wavelength. The electromagnetic spectrum determines this, every different wavelength has a corresponding color. Red being the longest, and violet being the shortest. This electromagnetic spectrum also determines whether it is visible, ultraviolet, infrared, and so on.
What part of the transverse wave determines the color of light?
The frequency of the wave determines the color of light. Higher frequency waves correspond to colors towards the blue end of the spectrum, while lower frequency waves correspond to colors towards the red end of the spectrum.
When the amplitude decreases what happens to the frequency?
When the amplitude decreases, the frequency remains constant. Amplitude and frequency are independent of each other in a wave. The frequency determines the pitch of the sound or the color of light, while the amplitude determines the intensity or loudness of the sound or brightness of light.
How is frequency related to color?
Frequency is directly related to color in terms of light waves. Higher frequency waves appear as colors on the violet end of the spectrum, while lower frequency waves appear as colors on the red end of the spectrum. The frequency of light waves determines the specific color that is perceived by our eyes.
What photons has the highest frequency in nm?
Gamma rays have the highest frequency photons, typically ranging from 0.01 nm to 10 nm.
What determines the quantity of an x-ray photon?
The energy of an x-ray photon is determined by its frequency or wavelength. X-ray photons are emitted with a specific energy level based on the atomic structure of the material producing them. The quantity of x-ray photons produced can be influenced by factors such as the amount of energy applied to the x-ray tube and the exposure time.
What is the effect of frequency of incident light on photoelectric current?
The photoelectric effect is based on two principles. 1. The intensity or brightness of the visible light (number of photons): The higher the intensity (larger number of photons) determines the number of electrons that are released from the surface material. 2. The frequency of visible light (wavelength): The higher the frequency a beam of light has when it strikes the surface determines the speed (kinetic energy) of the electrons that are ejected from the material. This is independent from light intensity. The higher the frequency of the light, the higher the energy of the electrons emitted, and thus, the higher the current of the circuit.
Why are x- rays more penetrating than visible light waves?
Higher frequency photons have more energy than lower frequency photons.
What color of the visible light portion of the electromagnetic spectrum has the highest frequency and the most energy?
The color violet in the visible light spectrum has the highest frequency and most energy due to its short wavelength, which corresponds to higher energy photons.
