What color of light has photons of greatest energy?

Answer 1

The visible light spectrum ranges from red light (620 nm) to violet light (480nm). Because wavelength is inversely proportional to energy, violet light posseses the most energy while red light possesses the least (as measured in photons).

Answer 2

Might depend on your definition of light. The visible light spectrum had two extremes, usually referred to as red and blue. The blue end has higher frequency and therefore energy. The highest frequency colour is probably violet. As for stuff you can't see you'd have to consider X-rays, gamma-rays and cosmic-rays.

Answer 3

Simple Answer:

The human eye sees a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum which we call visible light.

Red has the lowest frequency and longest wavelength.

Violet has the highest frequency and shortest wavelength.

The energy of a photon is proportional to its frequency. (Another one of Einstein's famous equations, E=h nu, where nu is the frequency.)

Red has the lowest frequency and lowest energy photons.

Violet has the highest frequency and highest energy photons.

We assign colors to different parts of this spectrum which has a wavelength between 380 nanometers and 760 nanometers and frequency from 400 to 790 terahertz.

We assign colors to different parts of this spectrum roughly as follows.

Red 400 - 482 terahertz

Orange 482 - 503 terahertz

Yellow 503 - 520 terahertz

Green 520 - 610 terahertz

Blue 610 - 659 terahertz

Violet 659- 790 terahertz

The specific assignment of colors to frequency ranges is subjective, but under any assignment, the highest frequency is at the upper limit of what we can see and is always violet. As mentioned above, the photons (the quantum of light) of the higher frequencies have higher energies.
Violet.

Answer 4

The visible light spectrum ranges from red to violet. Violet has the shortest wavelength, and because energy is inversely proportionate to energy, it also has the highest energy.

Answer 5

If you want to know the correct answer it is: VIOLET

Answer 6

The rainbow color with the highest energy photons is violet. The rainbow color with the lowest energy photons is red.

Answer 7

That's the highest frequenjcy / shortest wavelength. It varies with individual eyes,

but it's always the last color you can see at the blue end of the spectrum.

Answer 8

violet

Answer 9

Violet
