What Photons with the highest energy have the blank?

The highest energy photons have the shortest wavelength, which is in the gamma ray range. Gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation that have the highest energy and shortest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum.


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.


Which type of eletromagnetic energy has the highest energy?

Gamma rays. Gamma rays are photons, but very high energy photons. They are the photons generated by processes in the nuclei of atoms.


Photons with the highest energy have the longest period?

No, the energy of a photon is directly related to its frequency, not its period. Photons with the highest energy have the shortest wavelength and the highest frequency. Period is the time taken to complete one full cycle of a wave, and it is inversely related to frequency.


What kind of particles make up gamma rays?

Gamma rays are composed of photons, which are packets of electromagnetic energy. These photons are the highest-energy form of electromagnetic radiation and have no mass or charge.


Do microwave photons have more energy than infrared?

Yes, microwave photons have higher energy than infrared photons. Microwave photons have wavelengths ranging from 1 mm to 1 m and correspond to energies around 1 microelectronvolt, while infrared photons have longer wavelengths and lower energies.


Which type of energy is carried in photons?

Photons carry electromagnetic 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.


Which has more energy a radio photon or a X-ray photon?

The highest energy photons are all found at the "top" of the electromagnetic spectrum. That's the end populated by photons with the shortest wavelengths (and, therefore, the shortest periods) and the highest frequencies. These photons, these extremely energetic electromagnetic waves, are generated within the nuclei of atoms and released during nuclear events. Subatomic particles actually generate the photons as they go through changes. Stars (most of them) can produce photons in these energies continuously, or in bursts. We frequently refer to photons of extreme energies as gamma rays. We can stimulate nuclei to generate these high energy photons in the nuclear physics laboratory, and it's usually done with some sort of nuclear accelerator. We take protons - or whole atomic nuclei - and speed them up to near light speed and slam these nuclear bullets into targets (or other particles). Photons of the highest energies are produced. As one can imagine, shielding for containment is a big concern, as these energetic photons will punch through steel, concrete and earth. Some links are provided.


What is the term for the small packets of energy emitted from light?

The term for the small packets of energy emitted from light is called photons.


What photons has the highest frequency in nm?

Gamma rays have the highest frequency photons, typically ranging from 0.01 nm to 10 nm.


What color of the visible light portion of the electromagnetic spectrum has the highest frequency and the most energy?

The color violet in the visible light spectrum has the highest frequency and most energy due to its short wavelength, which corresponds to higher energy photons.
