In case of visible spectrum, violet has got least wavelength and hence highest frequency. The energy of light photon is given by the expression E = h nu

where nu is the frequency. Hence violet has got maximum energy per photon.

That is why, in case ordinary oven, where we use fire wood, the flame colour would be yellow or orange. That means the heat content will be less. But in case of kerosene stove or gas stove using the proper design of the burner, the colour of the flame would be blue or violet. Hence the heat content becomes more and cooking is done in shorter duration.

Which best describes the relationship between photon energy and the color of light?

The color of light is directly related to the energy of its photons. Light with higher photon energy appears bluer, while light with lower photon energy appears redder. This relationship is governed by the electromagnetic spectrum and the frequency of light.


What is the relationship between the wavelength of a photon and its perceived color?

The relationship between the wavelength of a photon and its perceived color is that shorter wavelengths correspond to colors towards the blue end of the spectrum, while longer wavelengths correspond to colors towards the red end of the spectrum. This is known as the visible light spectrum, where different wavelengths of light are perceived as different colors by the human eye.


Which has more energy a photon of red light or photon of violet light?

The violet light has more energy than the red light. Red light is lower on the electromagnetic spectrum, meaning it has a lower frequency (or longer wavelength). You'll recall the colors of the rainbow as red, orange, yellow, etc., and these are the colors going up the frequency spectrum. Photons higher on the spectrum are higher in frequency and energy.


What color of light has the lowest wavelength?

I suspect you mean the color with respect to light. If this is the case then red light has the lowest energy of the visible spectrum. Of course visible light is just a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum, for example, infrared light has even less energy. The lowest energy would be found in radio waves. Also it is important to realize that color is just a convention, it has no real physical meaning. Some other animal might see totally different colors.


Which part of the electromagnetic spectrum will a photon belong if its wavelength in a vacuum is 5.6 10 -7 meter?

The photon will belong to the visible light spectrum, specifically in the red region with a wavelength of 5.6 x 10^-7 meters.

How can a photon have color?

A photon's color is determined by its wavelength, which corresponds to a specific color in the visible spectrum. A photon of shorter wavelength appears bluer while a longer wavelength appears redder. The perception of color in photons is a result of how our eyes detect and interpret different wavelengths of light.

What color is visible light sprectrum has the most energy per photon?

A photon's energy is directly proportional to its frequency (inversely proportional to its wavelength).In any given interval of the spectrum, the highest frequency (shortest wavelength) carries the most energy.For visible light, that corresponds to the violet end of the 'rainbow'. The last color your eyes can perceiveat that end is the color with the most energy per photon.


Which color of the visible spectrum contain the most energy?

Each photon of blue light has more energy than a photon of any other color, because the blue ones have the highest frequency.

What is the amplitude of the visible light spectrum?

It is not meaningful to talk about "amplitude of the visible light spectrum". One might think that more intense light would mean greater amplitude of the light wave, but it just means more photons. "Visible light" is made up of photons. A single photon has a certain quantifiable energy, and that energy is discussed in terms of frequency or wavelength. A photon with low frequency (towards the red end of the visible light spectrum, for instance) is less energetic than a photon with high frequency (towards the blue end and beyond). For all intents and purposes, the amplitude of a photon wave-packet could be said to be of "unit amplitude", the amplitude of light.


Which color of the visible light portion the the electromagnetic spectrum has the lowest frequency and the least energy?

The last color you can see at the red end has the lowest frequency,longest wavelength, least energy per photon.The last color you can see at the violet end has the highest frequency,shortest wavelength, most energy per photon.

Which color has the least amount of energy per photon?

High-energy photons correspond to short-wavelength light while low-energy photons correspond to long-wavelength light. In short, the answer is red. For short-wavelengths (high energy photons) it would appear blue.
