Is the energy of all photons the same?

Photons of different frequencies have different lengths between every full oscillation. The different “bubbles” are of different diameter dependent from their frequency and by this of different energy. Does all the photons have the same energy? Definitely not.

Do some photons have more energy than others?

The energy of a photon depends on its wavelength: longer wavelength photons have less energy and shorter wavelength photons have more. Red photons, for example, have less energy than blue ones.

Do all photons have the same mass?

Since photons (particles of light) have no mass, they must obey E = pc and therefore get all of their energy from their momentum. If a particle has no mass (m = 0) and is at rest (p = 0), then the total energy is zero (E = 0). But an object with zero energy and zero mass is nothing at all.

Which photon has more energy?

gamma-rays
Radio waves have photons with low energies, microwave photons have a little more energy than radio waves, infrared photons have still more, then visible, ultraviolet, X-rays, and, the most energetic of all, gamma-rays.

Which photon carries the most energy?

Gamma rays
Gamma rays, a form of nuclear and cosmic EM radiation, can have the highest frequencies and, hence, the highest photon energies in the EM spectrum.

Are microwaves made of photons?

Not only is light made up of photons, but all electromagnetic energy (i.e. microwaves, radio waves, X-rays) is made up of photons.

What kind of light has the lowest energy?

Red
Red has the lowest energy and violet the highest. Beyond red and violet are many other kinds of light our human eyes can’t see, much like there are sounds our ears can’t hear. On one end of the electromagnetic spectrum are radio waves, which have wavelengths billions of times longer than those of visible light.

Can an individual photon have different energies?

Not only can individual photons have different energies, the same photon has different energies since energy is reference frame dependent. A photon with a certain energy in a frame of reference will have a different energy in a different frame of reference. Relatively moving observers will not agree on the energy of the same photon.

Why do different photons have different frequencies?

By the way, different photons have different energies not energy levels. Only composite particles have energy levels like atoms and molecules. According to my knew, all photons are same. They have same features except carried energy level. So their difference is caused by their contained energy that we determine it as frequencies of them.

How many different ways can a photon be emitted from E4?

Then, there is one electron at E4, and it asks in how many different ways a photon can be emitted as the electron transitions from the fourth energy level to a lower energy level. Now, the textbook says that there are six (6) different ways a photon can be emitted from this atom.

How do you calculate the energy of a photon?

Photons don’t have mass, so for them the formula becomes E = p c = h c λ = h ν where ν is the frequency. Therefore, the energy of a photon is proportional to its frequency.
