What is the relationship between wavelength of light and the energy of light?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
The energy in one photon of any electromagnetic radiation is directly proportional
to its frequency, so that would be inversely proportional to its wavelength.
Note: There is no energy in the protons of light, since light has no protons.

What is the relationship between the wavelength of light and the quantity of energy per photon?
inversely related
What is the relationship between wavelength of light and the quantity of energy per photon?
The energy per photon is directly proportional to the frequency; the frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength (since frequency x wavelength = speed of light, which is constant); thus, the energy per photon is inversely proportional to the wavelength.
In electromagnetic waves what is the relationship between the frequency and the wavelength?
freq x wavelength = c (light speed)
How can the relationship between wavelength and energy be described?
They are inversely proportional. The shorter the wavelength, the higher the energy and vice versa. v=frequency; c=speed of light (~3x10^8 m/s); y=wavelength E=hv; v=c/y E=hc/y
What is the relationship between the energy in light and the frequency of light?
E=hf and E= (hc)/w E=energy h=planck's constant f=frequency of light c= speed of light w= wavelength of light (normally represented by the greek letter lambda)
What is the relationship between the wavelength and the frequency of radiant energy?
Wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional.
What is the relationship between the wavelength of light and the quantity of energy per photon?
inversely related
Why won't a very bright beam of red light impart more energy to an electron than a feeble beam of violet light?
Ok, so this goes back to the inverse relationship between wavelength and frequency ( energy). As wavelength increases , frequency decreases, the relationship between the two is a inverse relationship. the Red light, wavelength of approx. 700 m^-7 , has a greater wavelength then of the blue light, 400m ^-7. This means , due to frequency and wavelength having an inverse relationship, blue light has a greater frequency (energy) than red light. This is why blue light, no matter how dim, will impart more energy to an electron , then a red light would.

What is the relationship between a photons energy and its wavelength?
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.
What is the relationship between the light emitted by an atom in the energies of the electrons in the atom?
The more energy levels the electron jumps the more energy the emitted light will have. The more energy you have the shorter wavelength there is.
What is the relationship between wavelength of light and the energy of its protons?
The energy in one photon of any electromagnetic radiation is directly proportionalto its frequency, so that would be inversely proportional to its wavelength.Note: There is no energy in the protons of light, since light has no protons.

How are wavelength and frequency and energy related for photons of light?
They are inversely proportional or relationship to each other.
