Does photon of 420nm contain more energy than a photon of 790nm?
Yes. Energy is inversely proportional to wavelength. Shorter wavelength = more energetic.
How can you convert frequency to wavelength?
You can convert frequency to wavelength by dividing the speed of light by the wavelength. You can learn more about wavelengths and frequencies online at the Wikipedia.
Does short-wavelength light carry more energy or less energy than long-wavelength light?
The shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency, and the higher the energy, so X-rays carry more energy than radio waves.
Which of the following processes is more easily observable for light with short wavelength?
interference?
What color of light has the highest refractive index?
The refractive index is inversely proportional to the wavelength, so the shorter the wavelength (the higher the frequency, or the more "blue" the light) the higher the refractive index. Conversely, the longer the wavelength (the lower the frequency, or the more "red" the light), the lower the refractive index. Therefore as wavelength of blue in less the refractive index will be maximum. For more information, follow the related link below.

What affects light with short wavelength more than light with long wavelength?
Scattering of light
Why does blue light scatter more than red light?
blue light has shorter wavelength than the red light.scattering of light is more when wavelength is small.
How does light become coloured?
Light's color depends on its wavelength. Shorter wavelengths make light more red, while longer make it more violet colored. Red light has a wavelength of approximately 700 nm, while violet light has a wavelength of 400 nm.
Is it true ultraviolet light had longer wavelength than visible light?
No, UV light has more energy than visible light and therefore has a shorter wavelength
Which has more energy green light or yellow light?
Green light. If you use the abbreviation ROY G. Biv ( red, orange yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet), you will always know that the red light has the longest wavelength and violet has the smallest wavelength. Wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional to one another. So if the wavelength is large, frequency is small, and when wavelength is small, frequency is large. Green light has a smaller wavelength than yellow. Likewise it has a higher frequency than yellow does. Therefore, green light has a higher frequency than yellow light.
Does photon of 420nm contain more energy than a photon of 790nm?
Yes. Energy is inversely proportional to wavelength. Shorter wavelength = more energetic.
What has more energy heat or light And why?
It depends on the wavelength of light and the amount of heat. If you are comparing light from the visible part of the spectrum with infra red (i.e. heat), then visible light has more energy due to its slightly shorter wavelength. Energy is related to wavelength by the equation E=hc/λ where h is Planck's constant, c is the speed of light in a vacuum and λ is wavelength.
How can you convert frequency to wavelength?
You can convert frequency to wavelength by dividing the speed of light by the wavelength. You can learn more about wavelengths and frequencies online at the Wikipedia.
Does short-wavelength light carry more energy or less energy than long-wavelength light?
The shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency, and the higher the energy, so X-rays carry more energy than radio waves.
What is the energy of electromagnetic waves such as light?
Energy varies with the wavelength. The shorter the wavelength the higher the energy. Ultraviolet much more energetic than red light.
Is red light more intense than violet light?
Intensity is independent of the wavelength/frequency.
