Max Planck came up with the idea of a photon of energy, suggesting that instead of waves, each photon had a discrete amount, or a quantum hence the foundation of quantum mechanics. I assume it was him who gave it the name.

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.

How do you calculate photon flux given v?

Photon flux can be calculated using the formula: photon flux = v * E, where v is the frequency of the photons and E is the energy of each photon. By multiplying the frequency of the photons by the energy of each photon, you can determine the photon flux.

How do you increase the momentum of a photon?

To increase the momentum of a photon, you can either increase its frequency or velocity. This can be achieved by changing the energy of the photon, as momentum is directly proportional to the energy of a photon.
