Best Answer

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-wave

radiation, by simply radiating more photons.

Example:

Energy in 1 red-light photon

compared to

energy of 1 radio-wave photon at 2.5 GHz . . . . . 160,000 times as much energy

However . . .

Energy radiated inside a microwave oven at 2.5 GHz . . . 1,200 to 2,000 joules every second

Energy radiated by a single red LED . . . . . 0.05 joule every second
