The number of photons in one joule of light is inversely proportional to their wavelength. Since red light at 650 nm has a longer wavelength than blue light, which typically has a shorter wavelength (around 450 nm), there will be more photons in one joule of red light than in one joule of blue light. Therefore, the number of photons in one joule of red light is greater than the number of photons in one joule of blue light.
