Solution

Photon:

  1. The basic particle of the visible region of illumination is the photon.
  2. Visible light functions like such a wave phenomenon in certain dimensions, but it also operates like a stream of slightly elevated, submicroscopic particulate in many others.
  3. The energy of a photon is often expressed in units of electron volts (1eV=1.602×10-12erg).
  4. Light wavelengths span from 400nm at the violet end of the spectrum to 700nm at the red end.
  5. Violet light has a shorter wavelength than red light. As a result, the frequency of violet is greater than that of red.

Therefore, the violet photon is more energetic than the red photon.
