Do x ray radiation photons have more engery than infrared waves?

yes, x ray radiation photons have more energy than infrared waves


What has more electromagnetic energy infrared radiation or x-rays?

Each X-ray photon carries more energy than an infrared photon does. But it's still very easy to shine an infrared beam that has far more energy than an X-ray beam. Simply use an infrared source that radiates more photons than the X-ray source does.


What makes x-ray photons different from microwave photons and green photons?

The amount of energy and therefore the wavelength differs. X-rays are more energetic than the others you mentioned.


Do photons of blue light have more or less energy than photons of red light?

Photons of Blue light have more energy than photons of red light. Ultraviolet have even more, x rays yet more, gamma rays still more, and some cosmic rays still a lot more. Infrared have less, and radio waves have less, and other waves have even less.


Do microwave photons have more energy than photons of visible light?

A microwave signal at 50 GHz has waves that are 10,000 times as long as a visible signal at yellow (600 nm) has. Therefore the yellow photon carries 10,000 times as much energy as the 50 GHz photon does.


Is it true that ultraviolet light carries more energy than infrad radiation?

im 75% positive that it does penetrate deeper than infrared radiation.


What determines electomagnetic wave energy?

The energy of a photon is the frequency times Planck's constant, hν. Gamma ray photons have the highest energy, then x-rays, ultraviolet, visible light (from violet to red), infrared, microwaves & radio waves. Then there's intensity whuch depends on how many photons you have. The brighter the light the more energy you get per unit time per unit area.


Photons with shorter wavelengths have larger what?

More frequency, and more energy.


What is an everyday example showing how heat is absorbed from visible radiation and transferred to infrared radiation?

Infrared Radiation is at a Frequency that is outside of the range of the Visible Spectrum. Visible light does not 'become' Infrared Light. If a light source is giving off energy in the form of HEAT it is emitting Infrared Energy, as well as Visible Light. A light source can also "Heat" matter by giving off energy such as X-Rays, or Gamma Rays, or more commonly MICROWAVE Radiation.


What has more energy a microwave signal or a gamma ray?

The photon (quantum) at gamma frequency has more energy than a photon at microwave frequency has. But you can easily generate a beam of microwaves carrying more energy than, for example, the gamma rays that enter your house from space. Just use a more powerful source of microwaves to generate more photons. No big deal. The one in your kitchen that you use to heat the leftover meatloaf pours out far more energy every second than gamma rays bring into your house, but each microwave photon carries much less energy than a gamma photon does.


What has greater energy between ultraviolet and infrared?

ultraviolet has more energy.


How does a substance change when its thermal energy changes?

Substances undergo physical changes as their thermal energy increases or decreases. The way in which this happens depends on the phase of the substance. For instance, when a gas or liquid obtains heat, the molecules of the gas or liquid have many "degrees of freedom", or ways in which they may move, to express the increase in heat. For example, a molecule of liquid or gas could vibrate more quickly, or rotate more quickly or could just move up, down or side to side faster than it did before. Solids, on the other hand, have less degrees of freedom because all of the molecule which comprise it are held together. So for solids, usually the molecules vibrate faster, but do not rotate. Remember that all molecules made up of charged particles heat up via the absorption of photons. In most cases, this is a microwave or infrared photon. In most cases, microwave photons will cause rotations and infrared photons will create vibrations.
