What size wavelength carries the greatest amount of energy on earth?
lowest wavelength
What is the shortest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum carries the greatest amount of energy?
The shortest wavelengths have the most energy because it has the highest frequency. A high energy light will have a shorter wavelength than a low energy light. If the wavelength goes down, then the frequency goes up. When calculating energy in the equation, E=hv, frequency (v) is the variable, not the wavelength. So in the equation, if you wanted a more energy (E), you would have the frequency be large. For the frequency to be big, then the wavelength has to be low.
How does the color of the light bulbs determine the amount of energy of the electromagnetic waves?
The "color" is really a wavelength. The electromagnetic spectrum determines this, every different wavelength has a corresponding color. Red being the longest, and violet being the shortest. This electromagnetic spectrum also determines whether it is visible, ultraviolet, infrared, and so on.
How does the amount energy affect the size of the wavelength?
Energy does not effect WAVELENGTH, it effects the AMPLITUDE of the Wave.
The amount of diffraction that occurs when a sound wave encounters a barrier depends on the waves?
diffraction wavelength
Is the autumnal equinox the longest day?
An equinox is not the shortest day. It has the same amount of daylight and darkness. The solstices have the longest and shortest days. The winter solstice is the shortest day of the year in terms of the amount of daylight.

The first days of summer and winter called solstices?
winter has the shortest amount of daylight and summer has the greatest amount of daylight./
What plant grows the longest roots in the shortest amount of time?
Tinospora cordifolia grows longest aerial roots in the shortest amount of time. It perches on the tree tops even with out roots, and during favorable conditions of growth it sends out aerial roots to the ground very fast.
What was the greatest amount of rainfall in the shortest time period?
Where: La Re Union France Date: 3.13.07 Amount of rain: 12.9 ft
What color of the visible light has the shortest wavelength?
because the velocity of violet is low and refraction always depends on velocity Amount of scattering is directly proportional to its wavelength.as violet scatters more it has short wavelength.
What is a sentence with solstice?
a soltice is a day where the day is either the shortest or longest in the year, there are two soltices, the summer solstice (june 21st) the longest day of the year and the winter solstice (december 21st) the shortest day of the year
How would inclination of earth's axis affect the day and night on earth?
The inclination of the axis affects seasons (and the amount of light and darkness). In the Northern Hemisphere, the longest day and shortest night are in June. After Summer Solstice, the daylight gradually gets shorter, to the shortest day and longest night in December. In the Southern Hemisphere, Winter Solstice (and shortest day and longest night) are in June, while the Summer Solstice is in December.
When the wavelength of the light is halved what is the amount of scattering?
the amount of scattering does not depend on wavelength..
Which phase of mitosis requires the next largest time for completion?
The longest time is interphase. The next largest time for completion is prophase. The shortest amount of time for completion is telophase.
