If you are talking about an electromagnetic wave; energy is proportional to frequency (E=hf), and frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength (wavelength equals velocity divided by frequency). So when the wavelength is increased, the energy is decreased.

How would the wavelength and frequency of a wave would change if the amount of energy it carried was increased?

If the amount of energy a wave carries is increased, the frequency would increase while the wavelength decreases. This is because energy is directly proportional to frequency and inversely proportional to wavelength in a wave.


What happens to the frequency of a wave when the wavelength is decrased and why?

The freequency of a wave is increased when the wavelength is decreased. This is because the product of the frequency and the wavelength are a constant that determines the speed of the wave c=fw.


If wavelength increases what happens to frequency and wave energy?

If wavelength increases, frequency decreases inversely. Wave energy remains the same since it is determined by amplitude and not by wavelength or frequency.


What happens to the wave length if the freqency of pulses is increased?

Wavelength shortens as frequendcy increases.


What happens to the frequency and energy carried by an electromagnetic wave as the wavelength decreases?

As the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave decreases, the frequency of the wave increases. This means that the energy carried by the wave also increases, as energy is directly proportional to frequency. Therefore, shorter wavelength corresponds to higher frequency and energy in an electromagnetic wave.


What happens to the energy of a wave as the wavelength of a wave increases?

energy increases, and the wave length decreasespicture the difference between alpha and gamma rays :)


When you increase the wavelength what happens to the amplitude?

Increasing the wavelength typically does not have a direct effect on the amplitude of a wave. The amplitude of a wave is usually determined by the energy or disturbance that created the wave, which is independent of its wavelength.


What happens to wavelength if the frequencyis increased?

As the frequency goes up, the wavelength decreases. Their product is always the same number . . . the wave's speed.


Energy is inversely proportional to the wavelength of a wave. Which would have the GREATEST energy A wave with a wavelength of meters?

A wave with a wavelength of 10^-15 meters would have the greatest energy. This is because the energy of a wave is inversely proportional to its wavelength, meaning that as the wavelength decreases, the energy of the wave increases.


What happens to a wavelength when the amplitude and frequency are both increased?

When the amplitude and frequency of a wave are both increased, the wavelength remains constant. Amplitude affects the intensity or loudness of the wave, while frequency determines the pitch. Therefore, changing the amplitude and frequency does not alter the wavelength of the wave.


As the wavelength of a wave increases on the electromagnetic spectrum what happens to the energy of the wave?

As a wavelength increases in size, its frequency and energy (E) decrease.


What happens to energy level a wave the wavelength becomes shorter?

As the wavelength of a wave becomes shorter, the frequency of the wave increases. Since energy is directly proportional to frequency (E = hf), the energy level of the wave increases as the wavelength becomes shorter. This is because shorter wavelengths have higher frequencies, which means each wave carries more energy.
