It depends on the wavelength of the photon.
Energy of each photon is hc/λ, where
h = Planck's constant = 6.626x1034 Js,
c = speed of light = 3x108 m/s, and
λ = wavelength of the photon

How does the energy of three photons of blue light compare with that of one photon of blue light from the same source?
If the color (frequency, wavelength) of each is the same, then each photon carries the same amount of energy. Three of them carry three times the energy that one of them carries.
Is light emitted when an electron makes a transition to a lower energy level?
No, as energy is absorbed. When the reverse happens, the higher state to lower state, the electron is returning to its lower energy level ground state and energy is released in the form of a photon.
Which color of the visible spectrum contain the most energy?
Each photon of blue light has more energy than a photon of any other color, because the blue ones have the highest frequency.
What is the diagram that shows the comparative amount of energy at each feeding level called?
food web
What is a simple definition of Einstein's quantum theory of light?
Light comes in discrete packets called photons. Each photon has energy E = h*frequency. h is called Planck's constant and is ~6.626e-34 Js
What sense are photons Quantized?
Each photon has a specific amount of energy.
In what sense are photons quantized?
Each photon has a specific amount of energy.

How are engery and frquency of electromagnetic radiation related?
(The energy of each photon) is (the photon's frequency) times (Planck's Konstant). (The total energy in a beam of it) is (the energy of each photon) times (the number of photons in the beam).
Who named the photon?
Max Planck came up with the idea of a photon of energy, suggesting that instead of waves, each photon had a discrete amount, or a quantum hence the foundation of quantum mechanics. I assume it was him who gave it the name.
Can a solar flashlight be recharged with a light bulb?
Yes, although it will take a lot longer than in sunlight. The particles of light are called photons and each photon carries a certain amount of energy. As the photon hits the photovoltaic cells of the solar panel, the energy they contain is converted into electrical energy by the excitation of electrons in the board. The stronger the light, the more energy.
When an electron falls from a higher energy level to a lower energy energy level how is the energy released?
The energy is released as electromagetic energy and each transition in each atom has its own wavelength for the light emitted.
How are energy and electromagnetic radiation related?
Electromagnetic radiation is one way that energy can be transfered across a distance. EM radiation can be thought of as packets of wave, each called a photon. A photon has a certain amount of energy, which can be found using the formula "E = hf", where 'f' is the frequency of the light, and 'h' is plancks constant (h = 6.626×10−34 Js).
What is threshold frequency in photoelectric effect?
It's the frequency at which each photon has the amount of energy required to separate an electron from an atom in the target substance.
Do Gamma rays have more energy than light rays?
Theoretically, gamma rays are distinguished by their source, not by the amount of energy each photon carries, so it's not really possible to answer.In practice, most gamma rays have far more energy per photon than visible light.
What is the main difference between radio wave and a light wave?
The difference is their wavelengths. That means that their frequencies are different, and also the amount of energy carried by each photon.
A diagram that shows the comparative amount of energy at each feeding level is called a?
energy pyramids
