Radio waves have the least energy per photon among the types of electromagnetic radiation. Their longer wavelengths correspond to lower frequencies, resulting in lower energy according to the equation E = hf, where E is energy, h is Planck's constant, and f is frequency. Consequently, radio waves carry significantly less energy compared to higher energy radiation like gamma rays or X-rays.

How do you Least to greats blue light X-rays microwaves orange light infrared radiation?

From least to greatest energy, the order would be: Infrared radiation < microwaves < blue light < orange light < X-rays This order is based on the electromagnetic spectrum, where the frequency and energy of radiation increase from left to right.


Is uva radiation the lowest?

No, ultraviolet A (UVA) radiation is not the lowest on the electromagnetic spectrum. It falls between ultraviolet B (UVB) and visible light in terms of wavelength and energy. UVA radiation is longer in wavelength compared to UVB, but shorter than visible light.


Which color has the least amount of energy per photon?

High-energy photons correspond to short-wavelength light while low-energy photons correspond to long-wavelength light. In short, the answer is red. For short-wavelengths (high energy photons) it would appear blue.


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.


Is radiation an xray?

No, they can't. X-rays, at least the high energy ones, are a form of ionizing radiation. Ionizing radiation can break chemical bonds, but it cannot activate a substance. That is, X-rays cannot make a substance radioactive. Only particulate radiation can "induce" radioactivity, and that will happen according to the type of particulate radiation and the material being bombarded. Cosmic rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation even more energetic than X-rays, and even they cannot make a substance radioactive. Because X-rays cannot make a substance radioactive, they cannot make a site, a room, or an area of any kind radioactive.

What types of electromagnetic radiation have the least energy?

Radio waves have the least energy among the types of electromagnetic radiation. They have long wavelengths and low frequencies, making them less energetic compared to other forms of radiation such as gamma rays or X-rays.

What is the weakest energy wave?

Among the many categories of radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum, the radiation with the lowest frequency(longest wavelength) carries the least energy. This might be the audio-frequency radiation from speaker-wires,the 60-Hz radiation from utility power lines or AC line-cords within the home, etc.

What waves are electromagnetic waves?

Electromagnetic waves include radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, x-rays, gamma rays.All of these are really the same thing (at least, for a physicist); the difference is in frequency, and the amount of energy per photon.


Which is the relationship between photon energy and the color of light?

Photon energy can be increased by following two methods. 1). by increase in frequency of one photon as (E = hf); where f denotes the frequency of corresponding region. In this case, the electromagnetic region will change to higher frequency region or shorter wavelength region. The photon energy may increase, but not the intensity. 2). secondly increase in the number of photons (n) as E= nhf. If the number of photons of a particular frequency increase, photon energy also increases. In this case, intensity of light of definite frequency (either blue, red etc.) increase simultaneously.


What temperature would an object radiate the least amount of electromagnetic energy?

An object would radiate the least amount of electromagnetic energy at absolute zero temperature, which is 0 Kelvin (-273.15 degrees Celsius). At this temperature, the object would have minimal thermal motion and therefore emit minimal radiation.


What electromagnetic radiation is the least energetic?

Perhaps you mean one of these, I can't tell:Alpha particle radiation: least penetrating ionizing radiation, 100% shielding provided by one sheet of paper.ELF radio: lowest energy radio waves (~0.01Hz), travels long distances and through water. U.S. Navy experimented with it for communicating with Submarines.Red light: Lowest frequency of visible light.Violet light: Shortest wavelength of visible light.Very High Energy Gamma radiation: Shortest wavelength of any known radiation.Anyway, least in what way?


The electromagnetic radiation with the lowest energy is?

Electromagnetic radiation with the lowest frequency has the least energy. E = hv, where E is energy in Joules, his Planck's constant, 6.626 × 10-34 m2 kg/s, and v is frequency in Hertz.


What is the lowest light energy in the electromagnetic spectrum?

answer: The wavelength of light is measured in full integers of Planks constant so by definition, the least energy a photon can Carrie is define by Plank's constant and is referred to has the Planck energy.


Which color has the least amount of energy per photon?

What type of radiation causes most ionisation?

The electromagnetic radiation most capable of ionizing is the radiation with the highest energy per quantum. That in turn implies the radiation with the highest frequency (shortest wavelength). The highest-energy end of the electromagnetic spectrum is the region we call "gamma rays". We can't generate these, and the gamma rays we observe all originate in radioactive nuclear processes.
