Question

Photons with the highest energy have the ____

Answer 1

Answer:

D. shortest wavelength

Explanation:

Photons with the highest energy have the shortest wavelength. The shorter the wavelength, the higher the energy of a photon.

A photon is a quantity that transmits electromagnetic energy from one place to the other.

• Gamma rays have photons that transmits the highest amount of energy.
• The rays have the shortest wavelength and highest frequency of all electromagnetic radiations.

Energy, wavelength and frequency of a photon are connected using the expression:

    E =  h f  = $\frac{hc}{wavelength}$  

E is the energy

h is the Planck's constant

 f is the frequency.
