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.


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.


Could an atom emit one photon of blue light after absorbing only one photon of red light?

No, it could not. A blue photon carries more energy than a red photon, since the blue photon's frequency is higher. That means one red photon wouldn't deliver enough energy to the atom to give it the energy to emit a blue photon.


How does the energy of three photons of blue light compare with that of one photon of blue light from the same source?

If the color (frequency, wavelength) of each is the same, then each photon carries the same amount of energy. Three of them carry three times the energy that one of them carries.


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.


How does a photon of yellow light and a photon of violet light compare in energy?

A photon of violet light has higher energy than a photon of yellow light. This is because violet light has a higher frequency and shorter wavelength compared to yellow light. The energy of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency, according to the equation E=hf, where E is energy, h is Planck's constant, and f is frequency.


Does a photon move at the speed of light?

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


What is a quantum of light's?

A photon


What is a lump of energy associated with light called?

A lump of energy associated with light is called a quantum. Another lump of energy associated with light is also called a photon.
