Is the frequency of infrared light higher than visible light?
No. X-Rays have a greater frequency than visible light. In order of increasing frequency(or decreasing wavelength). Radio waves, Microwaves, Infra-red radiation, Visible light, Ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, Gamma rays.
Which color has the least amount of energy per photon?
High-energy photons correspond to short-wavelength light while low-energy photons correspond to long-wavelength light. In short, the answer is red. For short-wavelengths (high energy photons) it would appear blue.
Does visible light have high or low energy?
"High" and "low" only have meaning when they're compared to something. Visible light has high energy compared to radio waves, and low energy compared to X-rays.
What is the amplitude of the visible light spectrum?
It is not meaningful to talk about "amplitude of the visible light spectrum". One might think that more intense light would mean greater amplitude of the light wave, but it just means more photons. "Visible light" is made up of photons. A single photon has a certain quantifiable energy, and that energy is discussed in terms of frequency or wavelength. A photon with low frequency (towards the red end of the visible light spectrum, for instance) is less energetic than a photon with high frequency (towards the blue end and beyond). For all intents and purposes, the amplitude of a photon wave-packet could be said to be of "unit amplitude", the amplitude of light.
What form of electromagnetic waves falls just after visible light on the electromagnetic spectrum this form will have higher energy and a shorter wavelenght than visible light?
That depends which way you are moving along the electromagnetic spectrum.If you are moving from low to high frequency, then the last category before visible light is infrared radiation.If you are moving from short to long wavelength, then the last category before visible light is ultraviolet radiation.
Which light has high frequency?
The highest frequency (shortest wavelength) of visible lightis the light at the blue end of the visible spectrum.
Do light waves move at a lower or higher frequency than visible light?
they are a high frequency
Is the frequency of infrared light higher than visible light?
No. X-Rays have a greater frequency than visible light. In order of increasing frequency(or decreasing wavelength). Radio waves, Microwaves, Infra-red radiation, Visible light, Ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, Gamma rays.
Red light is low energy and has long wavelengths?
Violet light has a short wavelength, high frequency, and high energy. Red light has a much higher wavelength than violet light.
What are 3 forms of Electromagnetic Radiation with a wavelength less than visible light?
The wavelength of electromagnetic radiation is a measure of the frequency; multiply the frequency times the wavelength, and the answer is ALWAYS the "Speed of Light", which we abbreviate as "c". All of these are different "bands" of electromagnetic energy. Radio is the longest wavelength and lowest frequency. "Low Frequency" is the lowest, followed by "high frequency", "very high frequency" or VHF, "ultra-high frequency" or UHF. Beyond that are microwaves, and then heat, then "infrared", and then visible light. Higher frequency (and shorter wavelengths) than light are "ultra-violet", then X-rays, and then "gamma rays".
Which color has the least amount of energy per photon?
High-energy photons correspond to short-wavelength light while low-energy photons correspond to long-wavelength light. In short, the answer is red. For short-wavelengths (high energy photons) it would appear blue.
High energey light has what wavelength?
High energy light has a small wavelength, and a high frequency.
Which colour has the shortest frequency?
Violet, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red The amount of energy in a light wave is proportionally related to its frequency: High frequency light has high energy; low frequency light has low energy. Thus gamma rays have the most energy, and radio waves have the least. Of visible light, violet has the most energy and red the least. Approximate frequency ranges for the various colors: Red 384 - 482 Orange 482 - 503 Yellow 503 - 520 Green 520 - 610 Blue 610 - 659 Violet 659- 769

What are some example of light energy?
Light energy is the energy carried by photons. Although there aren't really different types of light, we separate these out by frequency and wavelength so we can better identify what they can and will do. They range from very low to extremely high frequency; radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays and gamma rays.
Which form of light has the most energy?
There is no 'type' of light as light, is just simply light, however, the largest energy output of light known today is a gamma ray burst. Often caused by a collapsing star and in most if not all, the beginning of a black hole.
