Why are x- rays more penetrating than visible light waves?

Higher frequency photons have more energy than lower frequency photons.


Photons with shorter wavelengths have larger what?

More frequency, and more energy.


How are wavelength frequency and energy are related?

Energy of light photons is related to frequency as Energy = h(Planck's constant)* frequency Frequency = velocity of wave / wavelength So energy = h * velocity of the wave / wavelength


What does a gamma ray consist of?

High energy, high frequency photons.


What type of energy is useful in light?

Light is energy. Light is made of massless particles called photons that travel at the speed of light. Photons at a given frequency carry energy equal to the Planck constant times the photon's frequency.


Photons with the highest energy have?

highest frequency / shortest wavelength / same speed as all other photons.


What do 2 photons of the same frequency have in common?

Wavelength, energy, color (if visible).


Which color has the least amount of energy per photon?

High-energy photons correspond to short-wavelength light while low-energy photons correspond to long-wavelength light. In short, the answer is red. For short-wavelengths (high energy photons) it would appear blue.


Photons with lowest energy have the?

-- longest wavelength -- lowest frequency


How are wavelength and frequency and energy related for photons of light?

They are inversely proportional or relationship to each other.


Light is a form of energy?

Yes. Light consists of individual photons. The energy of a photon is its frequency multiplied by the Planck constant.


Are Photons the smallest quantum unit of energy in the electromagnetic theory of light?

Yes, and the size of the photon depends on the frequency of the light. The lower the frequency the smaller the energy of the photon according to the equation... Energy=Planck's constant x frequency. It was Einstein who discovered that light was made of photons when he correctly interpreted the photoelectric effect. Photons are also called "exchange particles" and are responsible for the electromagnetic force. Refer to the related links for more details.
