I believe it can - the energy of a photon is the product of the frequency and Plank's constant - and as far as I know, the frequency is not quantized.
There is no such thing as "long energy" or "short energy". The electromagnetic spectrum is:Radio waves; microwaves; infrared; visible light; ultraviolet; x-rays; gamma rays. In this list, going from left to right: * The energy per photon increases. * The frequency increases. * The wavelength decreases. Thus, for instance, gamma rays have the LARGEST energy per photon; the LARGEST frequency; and the SHORTEST wavelength.
Each photon of blue light has more energy than a photon of any other color, because the blue ones have the highest frequency.
A photon's energy is directly proportional to its frequency (inversely proportional to its wavelength).In any given interval of the spectrum, the highest frequency (shortest wavelength) carries the most energy.For visible light, that corresponds to the violet end of the 'rainbow'. The last color your eyes can perceiveat that end is the color with the most energy per photon.
There are spaces in the atomic spectrum of hydrogen because there are discrete energy levels that the electron in the hydrogen atom can be located in. Generally speaking the further away from the nucleus, the higher the potential energy of the electron. When hydrogen gas is excited, the electron can jump up to higher energy levels. When that electron falls back down to a lower energy level, a photon is emitted with an energy equal to the energy difference between the atomic orbital it jumped from and the one it jumped to. Since excited electrons can make a number of different jumps (ex. 4->3, 4->2, 5->3, 5->2, etc) there are a series of photons given off with discrete energies. Each one of these photons has a distinct wavelength (given by the equation E=hf, where E is the energy of the photon, h is planck's constant and f is the frequency of the photon). Each line you see on the spectrum is a photon produced from a different energy jump, with a different wavelength. We are only able to see the photons that emit a wavelength in the visible spectrum (roughly 400-700 nm).
When an electron drops from a higher energy state to a lower energy state, it emits electromagnetic radiation in the form of a photon. This process is known as atomic emission, and the energy of the emitted photon corresponds to the energy difference between the two electron states.
The spectrum that contains photons of all energies is the electromagnetic spectrum. This spectrum includes a wide range of photon energies, from low-energy radio waves to high-energy gamma rays. Each type of electromagnetic radiation corresponds to a different energy level of photons.
The electromagnetic radiation spectrum contains photons of all energies, ranging from high-energy gamma rays to low-energy radio waves. Each type of electromagnetic radiation corresponds to a specific range of photon energies based on its frequency or wavelength.
No, radio waves have the lowest frequency on the electromagnetic spectrum, but they do not necessarily have the lowest energy per photon. The energy of a photon is determined by its frequency, with higher frequencies corresponding to higher energies. Therefore, photons from higher frequency waves such as gamma rays have higher energy per photon compared to radio waves.
To answer this question, let's think about the excitation and relaxation processes involved. In the excitation process inside a deuterium lamp, an electrical arc between an oxide coated filament and an electrode excites D2 to D2*. Next, the D2* dissociates into individual D atoms. Let's call these D' and D''. Also, a photon of light is released. For an individual event, the total energy posssessed by D2* is apportioned between the kinetic energies of D', D'', and the photon. The sum of the kinetic energies of D' and D'' can vary from almost zero to the original energy of D2*. If the kinetic energies of D' and D'' are relatively small, the energy of the photon is large, and a shorter wavelength of light is emitted. If the kinetic energies of D' and D'' are relatively large, the energy of the photon is small, and a longer wavelenght of light is emitted. In a population of D2*, a distribution of kinetic energies of D' and D'' will result, allowing for a continuum spectrum to be emitted from the lamp.
The line emission spectrum of an atom is caused by the energies released when electrons fall from high energy level. It goes down to a low energy level and the extra energy it had from higher level is released as light.
The relationship between electromagnetic energy (photon energy) and wavelength is determined by two constants - the speed of light and Planck's constant. Photon energy (in Joules) is equal to the speed of light (in metres per second) multiplied by Plancks constant (in Joule-seconds) divided by the wavelength (in metres). E = hc/wavelength where: E is photon energy h is Planck's constant = 6.626 x 10-34 Js c is the speed of light = 2.998 x 108 m/s This relationship shows that short wavelengths (e.g. X-rays) have high photon energies while long wavelengths (e.g. Radio waves) have low photon energies.
No, photon energy is not the same for all wavelengths of light. The energy of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency, so different wavelengths of light can have different photon energies. Shorter wavelengths of light have higher energy photons, while longer wavelengths have lower energy photons.
The types of energy in the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum differ in terms of their wavelength and frequency. The spectrum ranges from low energy, long-wavelength radio waves to high-energy, short-wavelength gamma rays. Each type of energy interacts with matter differently and has unique properties and uses.
There is no such thing as "long energy" or "short energy". The electromagnetic spectrum is:Radio waves; microwaves; infrared; visible light; ultraviolet; x-rays; gamma rays. In this list, going from left to right: * The energy per photon increases. * The frequency increases. * The wavelength decreases. Thus, for instance, gamma rays have the LARGEST energy per photon; the LARGEST frequency; and the SHORTEST wavelength.
The color of a photon is determined by its wavelength, which corresponds to its energy. Different colors of light have different wavelengths and energies. The properties and behavior of a photon, such as its speed and interactions with matter, are influenced by its color and energy level.
In relativistic physics, the energy carried by a photon is given by the equation E=hf, where E is the energy, h is Planck's constant, and f is the frequency of the photon. The energy of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency, meaning photons with higher frequencies have higher energies.
Each photon of blue light has more energy than a photon of any other color, because the blue ones have the highest frequency.
