Energy of a photon of violet colour is:
Correct answer: A. Greater than that of red colour
- A. Greater than that of red colour
- B. Less than that of red colour
- C. The same as that of red colour
- D. None of these
Explanation
When comparing the energy of photons, it is important to consider their wavelengths. In the case of violet and red light, violet light has a shorter wavelength and therefore higher energy. This is in line with the VIBGYOR pattern where violet light has the highest energy among visible light colors. The correct answer is Option A. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not consider the relationship between energy and wavelength correctly.

About Optics
Light is studied through reflection, refraction, dispersion, interference, diffraction and polarization, linking ray behavior with its wave nature. Questions may involve mirrors, lenses, optical instruments, refractive index and image formation, while geometrical optics deals with rays and wave optics explains effects such as interference and diffraction.
