Do waves with longer wavelengths have higher or lower frequency's?

Speed (of the wave) = wavelength x frequency. Therefore, since the speed usually doesn't change much, longer wavelength means lower frequency.

Which has more energy purple or red?
Purple has a higher energy than red. Purple also has shorter wavelengths that emit a higher intensity compared to red that has longer wavelengths that emit a lower intensity.
How does the energy assoicated with waves change wave length changes?
Longer wavelengths (and lower frequencies) have less energy. Shorter wavelengths (and higher frequencies) have more energy.
If the wavelengths were shortened would the frequency be higher or lower?
It would be higher
What is the normal dispersion of the refractive indices?
In which the index of refraction is higher for short wavelengths and lower for long wavelengths.
Higher pitched sounds have shorter wavelengths?
A short wave length means high frequency (number of impulses per time unit is high) the compression in the medium which transmits the wave is greater therefore the medium becomes squeezed lateral to the direction of propagation of the wave. This later squeezing out of the wave is the amplitude of the wave which represents the wave pitch.
How do you change the pitch sound?
Adjust the wavelenght! The higher frequencies have shorter wavelengths, and lower frequencies have longer wavelengths. Basically, the longer the wavelength, the lower the pitch.
Which has more energy purple or red?
Purple has a higher energy than red. Purple also has shorter wavelengths that emit a higher intensity compared to red that has longer wavelengths that emit a lower intensity.

What did you observe about the wavelengths and frequencies of the different colors of light?
A higher frequency means a shorter wavelength, and a lower frequency means a longer wavelength.
What is the normal dispersion of the refractive indices?
In which the index of refraction is higher for short wavelengths and lower for long wavelengths.
Are the Earth's radiation wave larger than the suns?
Yes, they are longer. Longer wavelengths are lower energy.
What telescope does not use visual light energy?
Radio telescopes and infra-red telescopes operate at longer wavelengths/lower frequencies than visible light. Ultraviolet telescopes operate at shorter wavelengths/higher frequencies than visible light.
How are infrared and visible photons different from one another?
IR: longer wavelength, lower frequency, lower energy per photon.Visible: medium wavelength, medium frequency, medium energy per photon.UV: shorter wavelength, higher frequency, higher energy per photon.
What happens when light has higher frequency?
Light, or any kind of wave thing, has shorter wavelengths when its frequency is higher than it has when its frequency is lower.
Radio waves microwaves and ultraviolet rays have longer wavelenghts then visible light?
Gamma rays and radio waves are both electromagnetic waves. Radio frequency waves are a lower frequency, so they have a longer wave length.
Higher pitched sounds have shorter wavelengths?
A short wave length means high frequency (number of impulses per time unit is high) the compression in the medium which transmits the wave is greater therefore the medium becomes squeezed lateral to the direction of propagation of the wave. This later squeezing out of the wave is the amplitude of the wave which represents the wave pitch.
