Answer:
Red photons have the least amount of energy
Explanation:
The relationship between the photon energy and the color of light is given by:
where
E is the energy
h is the Planck constant
c is the speed of light
is the wavelength (which determines the color of light)
As we see from the equation, energy and wavelength are inversely proportional: this means that the longer the wavelength, the lower the energy, and viceversa.
Among the colors in the visible light spectrum, red is the color with longest wavelength (620-750 nm) and violet is the color with shortest wavelength (380-450 nm). This means that red photons have the least amount of energy, while violet photons have the greatest amount of energy.
So the correct choice is
Red photons have the least amount of energy
