It doesn't work that way. Light consists of individual particles (pieces) called photons; any light consists of one or more photons - in any case, a whole number of photons. If you can see any light, it is most likely that it has much more than just one photon - probably millions of them.

How many types of light exist?

Only one type of light exists. It is called a photon. A photon travels at almost 300,000 kilometers a second. You can change its frequency and aptitude. As a result you can put an almost infinite amount of information on one photon of light. So you can create more kinds of light than anyone can count.


What is the energy of one photon in a yellow light?

The energy of one photon in yellow light depends on the specific shade of yellow, as it corresponds to a range of wavelengths. Generally, for yellow light with a wavelength around 580 nanometers, the energy of one photon is approximately 2.14 electronvolts.


The light bearing packet of energy emitted by an electron is called a?

A packet of light energy is called a photon.


What an example of a photon?

A photon is a fundamental particle of light that carries electromagnetic radiation. It has no mass, travels at the speed of light, and interacts with matter through processes like absorption and emission. An example of a photon is the particles of light emitted by the sun.


What is the difference between a photon of yellow light and a photon of violet light?

A photon of yellow light has lower frequency that a photon of violet light. Remember that light can be considered both as particles (photons) and as waves. So when saying a photon has higher frequencie, its actually the wave part of the light that has a higher frequency.


How many meters will a photon of light energy travel in one nanosecond?

About 0.3 meters in a vacuum. Divide that by 1.0003 to get the distance in meters per nanosecond through air. Divide by 1.5 for glass.


How many Joules in one photon?

The energy of one photon is given by E = hf, where h is Planck's constant (6.626 x 10^-34 J·s) and f is the frequency of the photon. For example, a photon of green light with a frequency of around 5.5 x 10^14 Hz has an energy of about 3.66 x 10^-19 Joules.


What is the correct term of a light particle?

Photon


Does a photon have electrons?

No. A photon is a particle of light. It is massless.


What is the energy of one photon of light with a wavelength of 445nm?

The energy of one photon of light with a wavelength of 445nm is about 2.79 electronvolts. This can be calculated using the equation E = hc/λ, where h is the Planck constant, c is the speed of light, and λ is the wavelength.


Which is more energetic a red photon or a blue photon?

The energy of a photon is inversely propotional to its wavelength. The wavelength of a blue photon is less than that of a red photon. That makes the blue photon more energetic. Or how about this? The energy of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency. The frequency of a blue photon is greater than that of a red photon. That makes the blue photon more energetic. The wavelength of a photon is inversely proportional to its frequency. The the longer the wavelength, the lower the frequency. The shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency.


Does a photon move at the speed of light?

Yes, a photon moves at the speed of light, because photons have no mass.
