What is a particle of electromagnetic radiation with no mass that carries a quantum of energy?

A photon is a particle of electromagnetic radiation with no mass that carries a quantum of energy. It is the fundamental unit of light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation.


How is visible radiation different from ultraviolet radiation?

UV radiation carries more energy because it vibrates faster, i.e. it has a shorter wavelength. Because it carries more energy, it can do much more damage than visible light.


Which wavelenth of electromagnetic radiation carries the most energy?

Gamma rays.


What is the term for electromagnetic radiation that carries enough energy to remove electrons from matter?

We call that ionizing radiation.


Which wavelength of electromagnetic radiation carries the most energy?

Gamma rays have the highest energy of all electromagnetic radiation wavelengths.


What kind of energy can travel through radiation?

Radiation carries electromagnetic energy, such as visible light, infrared radiation, ultraviolet radiation, and radio waves. It can also carry particles, such as alpha and beta particles, along with energy.


Which radiation rays carries maximum energy?

The radiation from the brightest or highest-power source carries the maximum energy.The shorter the wavelength of the radiation is, the more energy each photon carries.But you can easily radiate a lot more energy in long-wave radiation than in shorter-waveradiation, by simply radiating more photons.Example:Energy in 1 red-light photoncompared toenergy of 1 radio-wave photon at 2.5 GHz . . . . . 160,000 times as much energyHowever . . .Energy radiated inside a microwave oven at 2.5 GHz . . . 1,200 to 2,000 joules every secondEnergy radiated by a single red LED . . . . . 0.05 joule every second


What is the difference between energy and radiation?

Energy is the ability to do work or produce heat. Radiations, such as electromagnetic waves or particles, are forms of energy that travel through space. While all radiation carries energy, not all energy is in the form of radiation.


Is light considered a form of energy?

Yes, light is considered a form of energy because it consists of electromagnetic radiation that carries energy.


What does electromagnetic radiation carry?

Electromagnetic radiation carries energy in the form of waves that consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields. The amount of energy carried by electromagnetic radiation depends on the frequency of the waves - with higher frequencies carrying more energy.
