A photon is a discrete packet of energy associated with electromagnetic radiation (light). A photon has energy E, which is proportional to the frequency of the radiation.

Which is more energetic a red photon or a blue photon?

The energy of a photon is inversely propotional to its wavelength. The wavelength of a blue photon is less than that of a red photon. That makes the blue photon more energetic. Or how about this? The energy of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency. The frequency of a blue photon is greater than that of a red photon. That makes the blue photon more energetic. The wavelength of a photon is inversely proportional to its frequency. The the longer the wavelength, the lower the frequency. The shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency.

How do you find the energy of a photon?

You need to know the photon's frequency or wavelength. If you know the wavelength, divide the speed of light by the photon's wavelength to find the frequency. Once you have the photon's frequency, multiply that by Planck's Konstant. The product is the photon's energy.


Could an atom emit one photon of blue light after absorbing only one photon of red light?

No, it could not. A blue photon carries more energy than a red photon, since the blue photon's frequency is higher. That means one red photon wouldn't deliver enough energy to the atom to give it the energy to emit a blue photon.


What is the opposite of a photon?

There is no known opposite of the photon. The photon is the basic unit of all electromagnetic radiation, just with different wavelengths, and the photon is a guage boson which mediates the electromagnetic force.
