I know this question maybe like... 'asking the truth that cannot be proven', however, I do like to know if somebody have the answer.
Thanks

AlienUFO said:What I know about is frequency mean no. cycles completed per second. Then I should ask why and how this frequency make higher energy of photon?
(But this is weird, this bring me an image of photon energy is contain at these numbers of cycles, besides, the no. of cycles may differ at different time interval)
The energy of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency and inversely proportional to its wavelength. This means that a higher energy photon will have a shorter wavelength, and vice versa.
The energy level of an atom determines the frequency of photons that it can emit. When an electron in an atom transitions to a lower energy level, it emits a photon with a specific frequency and therefore a specific wavelength. Higher energy level transitions result in higher energy photons with shorter wavelengths.
Higher energy photons have shorter wavelengths because they have a higher frequency. This is due to the fundamental equation E=hf, where E is energy, h is Planck's constant, and f is frequency. Since energy and frequency are directly proportional, a higher energy photon will have a higher frequency and therefore a shorter wavelength.
Yes, the wavelength of a photon can be changed by altering its energy level. As mentioned before, the energy level of an atom determines the frequency of photons it can emit. By changing the energy level of an atom, for example through excitation or ionization, the frequency and therefore the wavelength of the emitted photon can be altered.
The wavelength of a photon affects its properties in several ways. It determines the color of light that we see, with shorter wavelengths appearing as blue or violet and longer wavelengths appearing as red or orange. It also affects the energy and penetration power of the photon, with shorter wavelengths carrying more energy and being able to penetrate deeper into materials. Additionally, the wavelength can impact the behavior of photons in certain experiments, such as diffraction and interference.
