Which color of the visible spectrum contain the most energy?

Each photon of blue light has more energy than a photon of any other color, because the blue ones have the highest frequency.


What color is visible light sprectrum has the most energy per photon?

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.


The light bearing packet of energy emitted by an electron is called a?

A packet of light energy is called a photon.


How does the energy of three photons of blue light compare with that of one photon of blue light from the same source?

If the color (frequency, wavelength) of each is the same, then each photon carries the same amount of energy. Three of them carry three times the energy that one of them carries.


If a photon is reflected from the mirror then the change in momentum of photon is?

Assuming the photon is reflected into the same medium it came from (so we can ignore refraction), its momentum differs only directionally, its magnitude stays the same. The directional component of its momentum vector is always pointing in the direction it's propagating. Refraction is the means by which the magnitude component of the vector changes. The change in momentum of photon is nh/lambda.

What determines the color of a photon and how is it related to its properties and behavior?

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.


Which color wavelengths would contain the most photon energy?

Red color


Which color of the visible spectrum contain the most energy?

When a photon is emmit out from the atom its color is same as the atom color?

No. The color of the electron depends on the energy difference between the levels from/to which it is changing.


Which best describes the relationship between photon energy and the color of light?

The color of light is directly related to the energy of its photons. Light with higher photon energy appears bluer, while light with lower photon energy appears redder. This relationship is governed by the electromagnetic spectrum and the frequency of light.


What is the distance between the crest of one photon wave and the next is called?

The distance between the crest of one photon wave and the next is called the wavelength. It is a measure of the spatial extent of the wave and determines the color and energy of the photon.


A change in wavelength produces what change on light?

Frequency, color, energy in each photon.


What determines the frequency ( color ) of photons?

Frequency determines color. Frequency is determined by the origin of the photon, i.e. emitted from an excited atom.

What colors do the Motorola Photon 4G come in?

The Motorola Photon 4g is a great phone! Unfortunately, it only comes in one color so far, black. But, you may buy a case for it, and that comes in many different colors.

A packet of light energy is called a photon.


How are color wavelength and photon energy related?

Color wavelength and photon energy are inversely related. This means that as the wavelength of light decreases and the frequency increases, the energy of the photons also increases. Shorter wavelengths correspond to higher energy photons, such as in the case of ultraviolet light having higher energy than visible light.
