What type of seismic wave carries the most energy?
Secondary seismic waves travel slower than primary waves but they are much more destructive. Thus it carries more energy.
Why do waves of large amplitude carry more energy?
Because their mass is greater than smaller waves, therefore they contain more energy.
Why do bigger catapults launch objects farther than smaller catapults?
More stored energy
How does the loudness or softness of a sound relate to the energy it carries?
Sound has two quantitative qualities that we usually measure and those are amplitude and frequency. So I am asuming you are referring to the loudness and softness as the amplitude quantity. The louder a sound, the more energy it carries. So, a loud sound, using your descriptive terms, has more energy than a soft sound, which has less amplitutde.
What has more electromagnetic energy infrared radiation or x-rays?
Each X-ray photon carries more energy than an infrared photon does. But it's still very easy to shine an infrared beam that has far more energy than an X-ray beam. Simply use an infrared source that radiates more photons than the X-ray source does.

How is visible radiation different from ultraviolet radiation?
UV radiation carries more energy because it vibrates faster, i.e. it has a shorter wavelength. Because it carries more energy, it can do much more damage than visible light.
A particle smaller than the atom that carries no charge?
A neutron.
What is a particle smaller than the atom that carries no charge?
neutron
Why do waves of large amplitude carry more energy?
Because their mass is greater than smaller waves, therefore they contain more energy.
Waves with the greater amplitudes carry MORE OR LESS energy than waves with smaller amplitudes?
Wave with higher amplitude carry more energy than wave with lower amplitude. For simple consideration, no amplitude is no wave and thus no energy but just a flat surface of water. Wave with amplitude must have higher energy than the no wave.
Why do bigger catapults launch objects farther than smaller catapults?
More stored energy
Does a larger battery contain more energy than a smaller light bulb?
A light bulb contains no energy so, Yes, a battery of any size contains more energy than any light bulb.
Is it true that ultraviolet light carries more energy than infrad radiation?
im 75% positive that it does penetrate deeper than infrared radiation.
A river that carries more water than any other?
The Amazon River in South America carries the most water of any river in the world. Its average flow is greater than the next seven largest rivers combined.
Which one is higher energy gamma waves ultra violet waves microwaves radio waves?
The smaller the wavelength (high frequency), the higher the energy. So gamma has the highest energy, followed by x-rays, UV, visible, infrared, microwaves, radio, in descending order. This is also why green laser-pointers are more expensive than red ones ;)
