We can see a photon in the sense that it is photons that are going into our eyes so that we can see things. The human eye is just on the verge of being able to detect an individual photon. If our eyes were able to detect individual photons, we would see a very small flash of light when one entered one of our eyes. As it is, everything we see is the result of photons entering our eyes. The energy of the photon, determines the color that we see.

∙ 11y agoFirst of all, in order to 'see' anything, you have to bounce visible light off of it.
The concept of bouncing visible light off of wavelengths of visible light, you must
admit, is a pretty weird thought.
Next, the size of the wavelength of visible light ranges from about 380 to 750 nanometers.
That means that it takes between 33,900 and 66,800 visible light waves end-to-end
to cover one inch.
The 'pixels' in your eye are way farther apart than that. It would be like trying
to measure a mosquito with a half-mile stick that has no marks on it.

Is a photon visible?
The photon doesn't have a figure one can relate to. We can't say a photon looks like this -- or like that, because there's nothing in the world we see with our eyes day by day that looks like a photon.
How can plants get engery form artificial light?
a photon is a photon is a photon
How can you ensure that you are not in a trucker's no zone?
If you cant see his mirrors, then he cant see you.
The light bearing packet of energy emitted by an electron is called a?
A packet of light energy is called a photon.
What is happening in an atom when light is given off?
light is given off by an atom when and electron moves from one shell to a lower shell and a specific amount of energy is released in the process (known as a photon). If the wavelength of the released photon are in the spectrum of visible light, we will see it as a specific color based on the wavelength of the photon.
What does a photon see when it looks in the mirror?
Another photon approaching at the speed of light. Photons have no sensory organs so they cannot "see" anything.
Where do you get a photon storm dart blaster and how much does it cost?
well somtimes you cant find it so you have to try to find it at stores

Can you see pneumonia with the bare eye?
No. You cant see it with your bare eye. I have it and you cant see it.
How can you ensure that you are not in a truckers zone?
If you cant see his mirrors, then he cant see you.

What is the smallest thing a human can see a distance?
According to Quantum Theory, if light consists of a photon then photon will be the smallest particle to which human can observed because human eye can see any thing if a light rays get reflected from any object or matter
Why are photons important?
Photon's carry electric radiation energy in 'empty space'. Photon's carry the sun's energy to earth. Photon's are related to Planck's Constant h= zQ2, where Q is the photon charge, Q= 4/3 atto Coulomb = 8 1/3 electrons = (13U,1d) in Quark notation.The photon is related to theFine Structure Constant Alpha= e2z/2h = e2/2Q2=7.2E-3
What is micrope?
they are small insect that you cant see. they are small insect that you cant see.

If you cant see his mirrors, then he cant see you.
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.
