No, not all photons released can be seen as visible light. Photons can have a range of energies and wavelengths, from radio waves at one end of the spectrum to gamma rays at the other. Visible light falls within a specific range of wavelengths that are detectable by the human eye, but there are many other types of photons that are not visible to us.

Why are there no substances that convert visible light into UV?

UV has higher energy (per photon) than visible light.


What type of light has the highest photon energy?

Within the range of visible light, it's the light with the shortest wavelength (highest frequency). That's theviolet end of the spectrum. Past that, ultraviolet light, which is invisible, has higher energy.


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.


What is the difference between the energy of ultra violet light and the energy visible light?

Ultraviolet light has a greater energy per photon.


What photon has lower energy infared or visible light?

Infrared light has lower energy compared to visible light. This is because infrared light has longer wavelengths, which correspond to lower frequencies and energies.


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 is the amplitude of the visible light spectrum?

It is not meaningful to talk about "amplitude of the visible light spectrum". One might think that more intense light would mean greater amplitude of the light wave, but it just means more photons. "Visible light" is made up of photons. A single photon has a certain quantifiable energy, and that energy is discussed in terms of frequency or wavelength. A photon with low frequency (towards the red end of the visible light spectrum, for instance) is less energetic than a photon with high frequency (towards the blue end and beyond). For all intents and purposes, the amplitude of a photon wave-packet could be said to be of "unit amplitude", the amplitude of light.


Does infrared high or low energy?

Infrared radiation has less energy (per photon) than visible light.


Does visible light have more or less energy than ultraviolet light?

Well, first of all, protons don't make light. I think you mean 'photons'. A photon of ultraviolet light carries more energy than a photon of visible light, because it has a higher frequency / shorter wavelength.


Compare the frequency and energy of infrared waves to the frequency energy of the visible light?

Visible light has a higher frequency, a higher energy per photon, and a smaller wavelength, compared to infrared.


Is visible light a type of sound?

no, sound and light are very different Sound is a vibration in air, light is a particle called a photon moving through the air


What is happening in an atom when light is given off?

light is given off by an atom when and electron moves from one shell to a lower shell and a specific amount of energy is released in the process (known as a photon). If the wavelength of the released photon are in the spectrum of visible light, we will see it as a specific color based on the wavelength of the photon.
