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.

∙ 14y agoGreen light has a higher energy.
Red light has a wavelength on the lower end of the human visual spectrum, around a 620 to 700nm wavelength. Green light is closer to the middle, at about 510 to 570, with blue and violet taking up wavelengths smaller than ~510.
Now, the relation between wavelength and energy is inverse, meaning the shorter the wavelength, the greater the energy. The greater the wavelength, the lesser the energy.

Does UV radiation have more energy than violet light?
Violet light: 380-450 nm Red light: 620-750 nm nm=nanometer=10-9 meter
Which colour light has the most energy per photon?
Violet is the visible light color that has the highest energy photons. Ultraviolet and X-rays aren't really "colors", but they have even more energy per photon.Basically, the energy is proportional to the frequency, so the higher the frequency, the higher the energy.
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.
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.
What carries more energy ultraviolet or microwaves?
more energy, yes. If that is what you mean as power and energy are different units.

All light has the same amount of energy?
This is a tricky question because there is more than one form of energy in light. There is the energy that each particle of light (the photon) has and there is group energy which is the sum total of all the photon energy as they travel as a group (like in a laser beam). But the good news is that the answer is FALSE for both the photon and group energies. Photon energy depends on the photon fundamental frequency. And the higher the energy the bluer the color, which can run from red to violet. Those photons in the violet color have higher energy than photons in the red color frequency. And group energy is just the sum of all the photon energies in a group, like a light beam from your flashlight (aka, torch). So for a given mix of photons, the more photons in the group the higher is the group energy level. What we call light intensity (e.g., bright or dim) depends on the group energy with high energy equating to high intensity.

Does visible light have more or less energy than ultraviolet light?
Well, first of all, protons don't make light. I think you mean 'photons'. A photon of ultraviolet light carries more energy than a photon of visible light, because it has a higher frequency / shorter wavelength.
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.
Why a photon of red light has less penetrative ability than a gamma ray photon?
I think it is because a photon has less energy that is why it has less ability than a gamma ray photon
Does blue light carry more energy per photon than red light?
Yes it does.
What does photon mean?
In Chemistry it is a particle of electromagnetic radiation wth no mass that carries a quantum of energy. HOPE THIS HELPS:>photon is another name for concentrated energy, usually in quantizaed units.A photon is a particle of light. For more details, read the Wikipedia article on "photon".meant*A photon is like a particle of light. The minimum divisible quantity of light.
What carries more energy ultraviolet or microwaves?
more energy, yes. If that is what you mean as power and energy are different units.
Is ultraviolet radiation a higher or lower energy radiation than visible light?
Ultraviolet radiation is of higher energy than visible light. Ultra-violet suggests that it is above violet in the spectrum, and the colour violet is the uppermost region of visible light.
Which has more photons a bright red light or a dim blue light?
Whatever the colors are, the brighter light results from the beam of more photons. But each individual blue photon carries more energy than each individual red photon.
