Which waves carries the maximum energy per photon

• GP Sound Waves

Which one among the following waves carries the maximum energy per photon?

1. X-rays
2. Radio waves
3. Light waves
4. Microwaves

Answer

E = hf

So, if you increase the frequency of the wave, you get more energy per photon.

High frequency Gamma rays photons have maximum energy compared to other photons in the electromagnetic spectrum. It is followed by X-rays, UV rays, Light waves, Infrared, Microwaves and Radio waves.

The correct option is A.
