If you have one high energy photon and you collect it together with another, does there energy combined into one high energy or do they stay as separate energies

Khashishi said:There's a phenomenon known as two photon absorption, where a molecule absorbs two photons at the same time to jump to a higher energy level, where the energy of the transition equals the sum of the two photon energies. This is a nonlinear optical effect which occurs relatively rarely.

A high energy photon is a type of electromagnetic radiation that carries a significant amount of energy. It is composed of a single quantum of energy, known as a photon, and has a shorter wavelength and higher frequency than lower energy photons.
High energy photons can be produced through a variety of processes, including nuclear reactions, particle collisions, and the decay of high energy particles. They can also be produced through natural sources such as the sun or stars.
Combining energies in high energy photons allows for the creation of particles with even higher energies. This is important in fields such as particle physics, where high energy particles are used to study the fundamental building blocks of the universe.
High energy photons have a wide range of potential applications, including medical imaging, cancer treatment, and industrial processes such as sterilization and materials testing. They are also used in scientific research to study high energy phenomena.
Working with high energy photons can be dangerous and safety precautions should always be taken. This includes wearing appropriate protective gear, following proper procedures for handling equipment, and being aware of potential hazards such as radiation exposure.
