Electromagnetic waves whose photons carry the highest energy also have the:?

shortest wavelengths


Do smaller wavelengths carry less energy?

No. Shorter wavelength quanta packages called photons carry more energy the shorter the wave length gets.


Does a high- frequency wave have short wavelength?

Yes, the shorter the wavelength, the higher the energy. Gamma waves have the shortest wavelengths of all the electromagnetic radiation waves and carry the greatest energy. Radio and TV waves have the longest wavelengths and carry the least energy.


Do all wavelengths travel at same speed in a vacumm and carry the same energy per photon?

False


What colors provide the most energy for plants?

The wavelengths of light that contain the most energy that plants can use are blue.


Wavelenghts at which planets emit enregy?

Most planets absorb energy in the light and UV (and shorter) wavelengths. Planets radiate energy in the infrared (heat) and longer wavelengths.


Earth gets most of it's energy from this form of energy?

Radiation from the sun (infra red wavelengths)


Which color wavelengths would contain the most photon energy?

Red color


What are the most energy rich wavelengths of light?

The most energy rich colors of light are those with the shortest wavelength - violet or blue


What wavelengths of visible light can plants use as a source of energy?

Most of the visible light spectrum except green wavelengths is absorbed by the chlorophyll molecule and is usable in photosynthesis as a source of energy for plants.


Why Veins carry purplish blood but you do not bleed a bluish-purple blood when the vein is cut?

Veins appear blue because light, penetrating the skin, is absorbed and reflected back to the eye. Since only the higher energy wavelengths can do this (lower energy wavelengths just don't have the *oomph*), only higher energy wavelengths are seen. And higher energy wavelengths are what we call "blue." Blood is never purple although deoxygenated blood is a deeper shade of red than fully oxygenate blood.


How does the energy assoicated with waves change wave length changes?

Longer wavelengths (and lower frequencies) have less energy. Shorter wavelengths (and higher frequencies) have more energy.
