The energy of a photon is E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}E = h c λ where c is the speed of light and h is a constant known as Planck's cons

tant. If a red photon has twice the wavelength of a violet photon, then the energy of the red photon is the energy of the violet photon. This shows that short-wavelength photons carry proportionally energy than long-wavelength photons.

Answer: As a red photon has a twice of the wavelegth to the violet photon then the red photon has half energy of the violet photon.

Explanation: In order to explain the above statement we have to consider the Plack postulate where the energy of photons depend directely of the frequency . As the wavelength and frequency are related by :

c= λ*υ c is the speed of light,  λ is the wavelength and υ the frequency of the photon

so the energy of  photons are inversely proportional to the wavelength.

As a consequence twice wavelengtht means half energy for the photon.

Which electromagnetic wave has the lowest frequencies (less than 3×109 hertz)?
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Radio waves

Explanation:

The electromagnetic spectrum includes all different types of waves, which are usually classified depending on their frequency. Ordering them from the highest frequency to the lowest frequency, they are:

- Gamma rays

- X-rays

- Ultraviolet

- Visible light

- Infrared radiation

- Microwaves

- Radio waves

Radio waves are the electromagnetic waves with lowest frequency, their frequency is lower than 300 GHz (3\cdot 10^{11} Hz) and therefore they are the electromagnetic waves with lowest energy (in fact, the energy of an electromagnetic wave is proportional to its frequency). They are generally used for radio and telecommunications since this type of waves can travel up to long distances.
