The energy associated with photons in an electromagnetic waves increases as the wavelength decreases. The equation is E = hc/λ, where E is energy of a photon, h is Planck's constant (6.62606957×10-34 J.s), c is the speed of light in a vacuum (299,792,458 m/s) and λ is wavelength.

How does the energy associated with waves change wavelength changes?
a shorter wavelength means lower energy. A shorter wavelength means high energy
How does the energy associated with waves change as wavelength change?
A shorter wavelength means higher energy
What characteristic of an electromagnetic wave is associated with the energy of that radiation?
The wavelength, E = hc/wavelength.
How does the energy associated with a bicycle change as it speeds up going downhill?
The energy associated with a bicycle changes as it speeds up going downhill due to the fact that potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. The potential energy is the energy of the position. The kinetic energy is the energy of movement.
How does the wavelength of a wave change when the frequency changes?
Usually with electromagnetic waves, the frequency and energy is opposite to the wavelength. An EM wave such as radiowaves have huge wavelengths, slow frequencies and small amounts of energy. An EM wave such as X-rays have tiny wavelengths, fast frequencies and large amounts of energy.

a shorter wavelength means lower energy. A shorter wavelength means high energy
How does the energy associated with waves change as the wavelength change?
A short wavelength means higher energy
How does the energy associated with waves change as wavelength change?

How does the engery associated with waves change as wave length changes?
If we condier the wave in the form of photons, then as wavelength increases then energy content of each photon decreases.
How does the amount of energy in the light changes as the wavelength increases?
The energy of the photons decreases as the wavelength increases
What characteristic of an electromagnetic wave is associated with the energy of that radiation?
The wavelength, E = hc/wavelength.
Which color of light changes directions the least?
The high energy narrow wavelength change direction the least. It will be the violet - blue colour light. The red light had the least energy, long wavelength would diffract the most.
How does energy associated with waves change as wavelength changes?
Using this equation will help you understand what is going on: E=hc/wavelength h and c are constants. As wavelength increases, energy decreases. This is why UV radiation (which has a very small wavelength) has more energy than visible radiation, and this is also why UV radiation causes damage to living things
What is the variable for wavelength?
Wave length can be altered by changing frequency or Energy associated with it
