What is the difference between a thunderstorm and lightning?
Lightning is light energy, or electromagnetic energy. And thunder is sound energy.
What is the energy carried by electromagnetic waves?
it depends in the light maybe heat energy because if you hold a light bulb that is open it is hot
What energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation most often associated with a wavelength that is visible to the eye?
light energy
What is a particle of electromagnetic radiation with no mass that carries a quantum of energy?
Photon
How is wavelength related to energy?
The relationship between wavelength and energy depends on the type of wave. For electromagnetic waves, the shorter wavelengths are associated with higher energy levels. Electromagnetic energy travels in waves, and the length of the wave is inversely proportional to the energy the wave carries. Higher energy, shorter wavelengths. Lower energy, longer wavelengths.
What is a particle of light that acts as a discrete bundle of energy?
photon
What is the smallest discrete value of electromagnetic energy called?
photon
Which is a bundle of energy that can travel through empty space?
Electromagnetic waves or radiation
What is energy of electromagnetic?
It's what we call a "photon". Its energy is the product of its frequency and Planck's Konstant. No smaller bundle of energy can exist at that frequency.
What does the phrase 'energy is quantified' mean?
The phrase "energy is quantified" means that energy comes only in certain electromagnetic wavelengths. In addition to being continuous, energy can also be discrete, or come in quanta, or "packets" of electromagnetic radiation.
Light spreads as an electromagnetic wave that can be created or absorbed only in discrete bundles of energy or particles called?
Quantums of energy, or quanta.
What is a photon-?
A particle of light. Or, in general, of an electromagnetic wave.
Discrete packages of light energy are called what?
Discrete packages of light energy are called photons. Photons are also the quanta of all other electromagnetic radiation, not just light.
What is photon characteristics?
Under the photon theory of light, a photon is a discrete bundle (or quantum) of electromagnetic (or light) energy. Photons are always in motion and, in a vacuum, have a constant speed of light to all observers, at the vacuum speed of light (more commonly just called the speed of light) of c = 2.998 x 108 m/s.
How is electromagnetic radiation generated?
By the oscillation wave energy of sub atomic 'particles' (the most commonly accepted form of such a particle being a 'wave bundle').
What is a discrete particle of energy?
A small discrete unit of energy is called a quantum of energy. The definition of quantum is a discrete quantity of energy proportional in magnitude to the frequency of the radiation that it represents.
Light consists of bundle of energy called?
Photon.Bundles of light energy produced by electron movement are called photons. A photon is an elementary particle, the quantum of light and all other forms of electromagnetic radiation.
