What can you infer from a wave with short wavelength?
Low amplitude
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.)
What is the distance of a wave measured by?
The answer depends on what kind of wave it is: a mechanical wave, or an electromagnetic wave with a long or short wavelength.
A wave with a low frequency does it have a short wavelength?
The product of (frequency) x (wavelength) is always the same number ... the speedof the wave. So the lower frequencies must have longer wavelengths.

A wave has a low speed but a high frequency What can you infer about its wavelength?
That's short. (Note that the question avoids any definition of 'low' or 'high', so any answer should suffice.)

Short wavelength wave carry not energy (in proportion to their frequency.)
A wave with a short wavelength will also have a?
High frequency.

Why does a wave with short wavelenth have a high frequency?
Wave velocity in general = frequency x wavelength As the velocity of the wave remains constant then frequency and wavelength are inversely related So as the wavelength becomes shorter then frequency becomes larger or higher
How do you calculate wavelength of a sound wave?
v = fλ V/f = λ (wavelength) V = 340ms-1 340/f = λ In short you need to know the frequency of the particular sound wave to work out it's wavelength. once you know that you plug it into the above equation and you will get the wavelength of the wave.

When light passes through a prism infer how the amount of bending of a light wave depends on the frequency of the light wave. how does the amount of bending depend on the wavelength of the light wave?
The amount of bending certainly CHANGES depending on the frequency, but there is no simple relationship between frequency (or wavelength) on the one hand, and the index of refraction (and therefore the amount of bending) on the other. If by "infer" you mean to calculate this depending on the properties of the material, I don't think there is an obvious way to do this.
Distance from any point on a wave to an identical point on the next wave?
Wave Length. Abbr. WL (:
Is a microwave?
A short-wavelength radio wave. An electromagnetic wave that is somewhere in between regular radio waves and infrared radiation.
