electromagnetic radiation 2

Problem 1.B.1 states:
Photons of radiofrequency radiation are higher in energy than photons of ultraviolet radiation. Why is this statement false?

[Chem_Mod]

Radiowaves have photons with low energy and UV light has photons with high energy. This is because radio waves have a longer wavelength and a lower frequency and UV light has a shorter wavelength and a higher frequency.

[AlyshaP_2B]

Energy and wavelength are inversely proportional. Radio waves are longer, so they have less energy than UV.

[JOtomo1F]

This is false since wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional. Radiowaves have a longer wavelength and lower frequency than UV light and therefore, their photons have a lower energy.

[Zoe Staggs 3B]

Radio waves have the lowest frequency on the EMR spectrum and therefore the lowest energy per photon. The equation E per photon = hv explains this concept.
