It really depends on the type of wave. In the case of electromagnetic waves, a higher frequency results in more energy per photon. Therefore, a longer wavelength results in less energy per photon.

How does the energy associated with waves change as wavelength change?
A shorter wavelength means higher energy
Electromagnetic waves of the longest wavelength carry the greatest energy?
No. The energy of an EM wave is E = h*c / (wavelength), therefore waves with the shortest wavelength (or highest frequency) carry the greatest energy.
How does the energy associated with waves change wavelength changes?
a shorter wavelength means lower energy. A shorter wavelength means high energy
Electromagnetic waves differ only in their what their energy and their frequency?
wavelength,frequency, and speed
Electromagnetic waves with the highest energy have the?
Electromagnetic waves of higher energy have a higher frequency and a smaller wavelength.Electromagnetic waves of higher energy have a higher frequency and a smaller wavelength.Electromagnetic waves of higher energy have a higher frequency and a smaller wavelength.Electromagnetic waves of higher energy have a higher frequency and a smaller wavelength.
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.
How does the energy associated with waves change as the wavelength change?
A short wavelength means higher energy

How do radio waves and x rays compare in terms of wavelength and energy?
Radio waves are longer than X-rays and because energy is inversely proportional to wavelength, X-Rays have more energy. The formula is 1.25uevm/wavelength, that is the energy is 1.25 micro electron volt divided by the wavelength in meters.
Electromagnetic waves with the highest energy have the?
Electromagnetic waves of higher energy have a higher frequency and a smaller wavelength.Electromagnetic waves of higher energy have a higher frequency and a smaller wavelength.Electromagnetic waves of higher energy have a higher frequency and a smaller wavelength.Electromagnetic waves of higher energy have a higher frequency and a smaller wavelength.
High energy waves have what size wavelength?
small
Light waves are the wavelengths that register on your visual receptors Radio waves have a much slower wavelength and not as much energy?
Radio Waves are lower frequency/longer wavelength. Don't know about energy level...
What has the highest energy and longest wavelength?
Generically speaking, radio waves have the longest wavelength and gamma rays have the highest energy.
Which transmits more energy if two waves has same amplitude and same speed but differ in wavelength?
The wave with the shorter wavelength will transmit more energy than the one with the longer wavelength if two waves have the same amplitude and same speed but differ in wavelength. The energy transmitted by the shorter wavelength will normally be four times more than the energy transmitted by the longer wavelength.
