Why do waves of large amplitude carry more energy?
Because their mass is greater than smaller waves, therefore they contain more energy.
IN heat energy is transferred by particles or waves it is called?
If the energy is carried by waves, it is called wave energy. More specific terms may be used for specific types of waves - for example, "light energy", "sound energy", "gravitational energy", etc.
What are the waves called that have more energy than light you can see?
Sound because it has more waves than light.
What energy uses transverse waves?
Light Energy, Seismic Energy (Earthquakes) Many More ...
What is the term for energy that is transferred in the form of rays or waves?
Electromagnetic energy is transferred by waves. This includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, x-rays, and more. Waves can also be found in matter, like sound waves or ocean waves. Mechanical waves like these carry energy as well. However, electromagnetic waves do not need matter to travel.
What gives waves their energy?
Waves get their energy from the wind. The stronger the wind, the more energy the waves will have. If there is less wind, the waves will have less energy.
What types of waves carries the most energy?
Secondary seismic waves travel slower than primary waves but they are much more destructive. Thus it carries more energy.
Why do waves of large amplitude carry more energy?
Because their mass is greater than smaller waves, therefore they contain more energy.
Why are Love waves and Rayleigh waves more destructive than P-waves and S-waves?
Love and Rayleigh waves are also known as surface waves as they travel along the surface of the earth. As the earth's surface is a free boundary, these surface waves have a larger amplitude than P and S (or body waves)which travel through the earth's interior. The amplitude of a wave is related to the amount of energy it has, where high amplitude waves have more energy! This means that the high amplitude high energy surface waves are capable of transferring more energy into structures or other objects on the surface and so can do more damage.
What less energy a wave has the smaller its?
If it is a mechanical wave, then the lower amplitude waves would have less energy. If you are talking about electromagnetic waves, then higher frequency waves (shorter wavelength) have more energy, and lower frequency waves have less energy.

Explain why the energy of infrared waves is greater than the energy of radio waves?
The energy of infrared waves is greater than the energy of radio waves. This is because infrared waves has a smaller wavelength compared to radio waves. The smaller the wavelength, the higher the energy.

What makes sound loud?
it depends how much energy is used making the sound the more energy the louder because sound waves are transverse waves and waves are a reapeating disturbance of energy
Why does a radio waves carry less energy than an ultraviolet wave?
From the equation E=hv where h= plank's constant v=frequency and ultraviolet waves has more frequency than radio waves hence ultraviolet waves have more energy.
If wave amplitudes are equal will high-frequency waves carry more or less energy than low-frequency waves?
if wave amplitudes are equal ,will high frequency waves carry more or less energy than low frequency waves
