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 perceive
at that end is the color with the most energy per photon.

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.


Which color is fartherest from red on the color sprectrum?

red


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.


Does the brightest color in the visible spectrum have the highest energy level?

Yes, the brightest color in the visible spectrum (violet) does have the highest energy level due to its shorter wavelength. Violet light has the highest frequency and carries more energy per photon compared to other colors in the visible spectrum.


Why does the anion not play a role in the color of a flame in a flame test?

Anions do not play a role in the color of a flame in a flame test because they are not visible as the energy gap do not correspond to that of a visible photon. Flame tests are only applicable to cations.


Which color photons contain the highest energy?

Blue photons contain the highest energy among visible light photons. The energy of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency, and blue light has a higher frequency than other colors in the visible spectrum.


When an electron falls from a higher energy level to a lower energy energy level how is the energy released?

When an electron falls from a higher energy level to a lower energy level, the energy it was carrying is released in the form of a photon. The energy of the photon is equal to the difference in energy between the two levels. This released energy can be observed as light emission in the visible or invisible spectra, depending on the specific energy levels involved.


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 light portion the the electromagnetic spectrum has the lowest frequency and the least energy?

The last color you can see at the red end has the lowest frequency,longest wavelength, least energy per photon.The last color you can see at the violet end has the highest frequency,shortest wavelength, most energy per photon.


How can a photon have color?

A photon's color is determined by its wavelength, which corresponds to a specific color in the visible spectrum. A photon of shorter wavelength appears bluer while a longer wavelength appears redder. The perception of color in photons is a result of how our eyes detect and interpret different wavelengths of light.


Why does violet has the most energy?

Violet light has the most energy among visible light because it has the shortest wavelength and highest frequency. The energy of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency, so higher frequency light like violet light carries more energy.
