By specifying the wavelength; mm, nm, etc. Note Latin symbols for many wavelengths. There is also a generic symbol for 'wavelength,' a lower-case lambda.
Short wavelength
Both a wave with long wavelength and a wave with short wavelength can have a lot of energy, or little energy.Specifically in the case of electromagnetic waves, a short wavelength corresponds to high energy - but this is only the energy PER PHOTON. But note that each of such waves usually consists of a lot of photons.
There is a simple answer and a complicated answer. The simple anser is, "Neither", the complicated answer is , "It depends."
short wavelength
The color of visible light with the longest wavelength is red; the color with the shortest is violet. So "ROY G. BIV" lists the colors from long to short wavelength. Just to confuse you, we'll also mention that it lists them from lowest to highest frequency.
Short wavelengths.
Scattering of light
A short wavelength means higher energy
The peak wavelength, is connected to the temperature of the objects. we have short peak wavelength when the temperature is high.
No, gamma rays have a high frequency and a short wavelength compared to other forms of electromagnetic radiation, such as visible light. They are the most energetic and penetrating type of electromagnetic radiation.
A higher pitched sound has a shorter wavelength than a lower pitched sound.
High frequency.
