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.
Why does red absorb more light than blue?
Red does as it absorbs photons at blue end of the spectrum( the higher energy) and reflects light at the red end of the spectrum (a lower energy). While the blue light absorbs energy at the red end of the spectrum and reflects blue light
Which color has the greater intensity?
A rough definition of intensity (how intense) a light is might be how bright (the brightness) the light is. Intensity speaks to the luminance or luminosity of the light source. Under that definition, either red or blue light could be more intense. But if the information regarding the energy of light according to its color (or its wavelength or frequency), we would find that a photon of blue light has more energy than a photon of red light. Blue light has a shorter wavelength or higher frequency, and electromagnetic energy with higher frequency or shorter wavelength has more energy than light of the same intensity but of lower frequency or longer wavelength.
Could you emit the same amount of light energy per second which must emit more photons per second a source of red light or a source of blue light?
Red light has less energy per photon than blue light, so to get the same energy we would need more red photons.
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.
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.
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.
What color is more energetic red or blue?
It really just depends on you, I would have to say red because blue is more of a calm color. When red is more of a exciting, bright color.
Does blue light carry more energy per photon than red light?
Yes it does.
Which color is more energetic red or yellow?
Red... Red is the most energetic color in ROY G BIV violet being the least energetic.
Why does red absorb more light than blue?
Red does as it absorbs photons at blue end of the spectrum( the higher energy) and reflects light at the red end of the spectrum (a lower energy). While the blue light absorbs energy at the red end of the spectrum and reflects blue light

What is the difference between the red and blue colors of light?
Wavelength Frequency and Photon Energy
How can you tell the energy released based on the colour of the light?
Red light has lower energy photons than blue light. Ultra-violet is even more energetic.
Could you emit the same amount of light energy per second which must emit more photons per second a source of red light or a source of blue light?
Red light has less energy per photon than blue light, so to get the same energy we would need more red photons.
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.
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
