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.

Which photons have greater energy those associated with microwaves or those asociated with visible light?

Photons associated with visible light have greater energy than those associated with microwaves. Visible light photons have higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths, while microwave photons have lower frequencies and longer wavelengths. The energy of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency, so higher frequency photons carry more energy.


Energy of visible light can be measured in organized packets called?

The energy of visible light can be measured in organized packets called photons. These photons have discrete values of energy, meaning there is exact amounts of energy these have, and don't vary in decimal places.


What is a form of electromagnetic energy made up of streams of photons?

Light is a form of electromagnetic energy composed of streams of photons. Photons are the basic unit of light, carrying energy and momentum as they travel.


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.


Is light energy used in a microwave oven?

The microwave energy in a microwave oven is of a much lower frequency than light, but light is electromagnetic energy like the microwave radiation is.


Why is there no substance that convert visible light to UV?

There is no substance that can directly convert visible light to UV because the energy required to promote electrons from the visible light energy levels to the UV energy levels is too high within a single step. The energy levels of the electrons in UV are simply too far apart from those in visible light for a direct conversion to occur.


Do fire flames make photons?

Yes, fire flames produce photons as a result of the high temperatures causing atoms and molecules in the flames to emit light energy. These photons are the visible light that we see when a fire burns.


What hppens to the energy of photons when as you move visible light towards x rays and gamma rays?

Energy of photon increases.


Why are x- rays more penetrating than visible light waves?

Higher frequency photons have more energy than lower frequency photons.


How many photons are there in one lumen?

There is no direct conversion between photons and lumens as they are different units of measurement. Lumens measure the total quantity of visible light emitted by a source, while photons are individual quantum units of light energy. Lumens indicate the brightness of a light source, while photons measure the energy of individual light particles.


How many photons are there in a beam of light?

More than 1. Describing the intensity of the beam will establish the number of photons per second striek a perpendicular surface of a given area.


When the electrons release energy as visible light where do the electrons go?

Yes. When electrons go from a higher energy orbital to a lower one, they release photons (ie: light).
