If the wavelength is long do the quanta have high or low energy?

The electromagnetic energy per quantum is proportional to frequency, and therefore inversely proportional
to wavelength. So quanta with longer wavelengths have lower energy.

What wave would have more enery one with a long wavelength or a 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.
Which wavelength carries more energy short or long?
Short wavelength wave carry not energy (in proportion to their frequency.)
Is it possible to draw a high frequency wave with long wavelength?
It depends on what you consider high frequency and long wavelength. However, as frequency increases, wavelength decreases and vice versa. In fact, frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength.
Red light is low energy and has long wavelengths?
Violet light has a short wavelength, high frequency, and high energy. Red light has a much higher wavelength than violet light.
Does short-wavelength light carry more energy or less energy than long-wavelength light?
The shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency, and the higher the energy, so X-rays carry more energy than radio waves.

Short wavelength wave carry not energy (in proportion to their frequency.)
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.

Does wavelength determine the watts of a bulb?
The Wattage of a bulb tell you how much power (energy per second) you put into it. The energy will come out mostly as heat but obviously also light. The wavelength has the units of length and tells you what type and color of light it generates. The energy in each particle (photon) of light is dependent on the wavelength but the total power input isn't directly related. You can have both high and low input power infra red (long wavelength) and Ultraviolet (short wavelength) lamps.
Do an x-ray has high energy long wavelength?
Depends what you consider 'high'. The frequency of X-rays is higher than the frequency of radio, light, Middle-C, and a subscription to Scientific American, but lower than the frequency of some other types of electromagnetic radiation.
How does the frequency of radiant energy relate to the absolute temperature of the radiating source?
A low temp source emits low-frequency, long wavelength waves. A medium temp source emits medium frequency, medium wavelength waves. A high temp source emits high frequency, short wavelength waves.
A low energy electromagnetic wave would also have?
the lowest frequency Lester was here
Which color has the least amount of energy per photon?
High-energy photons correspond to short-wavelength light while low-energy photons correspond to long-wavelength light. In short, the answer is red. For short-wavelengths (high energy photons) it would appear blue.
Ultraviolet rays are potentially harmful to us due to their intensity. amplitude. high frequency or long wavelength?
High Frequency.
