How can you classify energy based on its waves?

Energy waves can be classified based on their frequency or wavelength. Low frequency waves, such as radio waves and microwaves, have less energy, while high frequency waves, such as gamma rays and X-rays, have more energy. In general, the higher the frequency of the wave, the more energy it carries.


Which electromagnetic wave transfers the greatest amount of energy which type would transfer the least energy?

i think you cant classify electro magnetic waves. all em waves have sam energy.


How do scientist classify waves based on what they move through?

Scientist classify waves by moving through a medium and/or empty space. For example, a wall, air, water, space.


What is the energy of travels through space as waves?

Electromagnetic waves carry energy through space. This energy takes the form of photons, which are massless particles that move at the speed of light. The energy of electromagnetic waves is directly proportional to their frequency, according to Planck's equation.


Waves are classified according to?

waves are classified according to the amount of energy they posses gamma rays being first then x-rays and so on and so forth


What happens to the energy of light waves if frequency increases?

If the frequency of light waves increases, the energy of the waves also increases. The energy of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency, according to the equation E=hf, where E is energy, h is the Planck constant, and f is frequency. Therefore, higher frequency light waves have higher energy content.


Does the energy of the waves become smaller or larger as the spectrum moves?

In general, as we move from high-frequency waves (gamma rays, X-rays) to low-frequency waves (radio waves), the energy of the waves becomes smaller. This is because the energy of a wave is directly proportional to its frequency according to Planck's law E=hf.


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.


Electromagnetic waves are classified according to their?

Frequency. Electromagnetic waves are just magnetic waves that are turning into electric waves. The faster they turn in to each other, the more energy and high up on the spectrum they are.


What are two kinds of energy that travels in waves?

Kinetic and electromagnetic energy can travel in waves.


Do waves carry mass?

As a first approximation, they usually don't. However, since they carry energy, according to the equivalence of mass and energy, that means they also carry a tiny amount of mass.


What are two types of energy that travel in waves?

Take your pick: water waves, sound waves, electromagnetic waves, gravitational waves.
