The frequency of the wave determines its energy. The faster the frequency, the more energy it has.

What is energy that results from the movement of charged particles?

Electrical Energy.


How is frequency related to the energy of a wave?

It is generally unrelated.In the case of an electromagnetic wave, the energy FOR A SINGLE PHOTON is directly proportional to the frequency, i.e., at higher frequencies the photons have more energy. But that tells us nothing about the energy of larger amounts of light, for example.


Is the greenhouse effect the same as ozone depletion?

No, they are different. Ozone depletion results in more ultraviolet (short wave) radiation reaching earth's surface. The greenhouse effect results in more infrared (long wave) radiation being absorbed by the atmosphere.


What moves forward in waves?

The energy of a wave moves forward with the wave. A wave is moving energy, and the wave carries it in the direction of propagation.


What happens to the energy in a seismic wave as the wave grows larger?

As the amplitude of a wave increases, the energy increases. In general terms the energy transported by a wave is proportional to the amplitude squared.

How does wavelength affect a wave's energy?

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.


What is energy that results from the movement of charged particles?

Electrical Energy.


The energy carried by a wave is indicated by its?

normally by its frequency....more the frequency greater is the energy of the wave


When A wave transfers energy true or false?

The answer is true. The greater the energy the greater the amplitude.


Does the energy of a wave depend on the amplitude of the wave?

Yes dude the energy of wave depends upon the amplitude The more the trough ( upper part of wave) moves away from the peroendicular distance the more it spends energy i.e. energy is inversely proportional to ampltitude


Is natural gas more available than Wave energy?

"Wave energy" can be a lot of things, you need a more specific question. Energy that travels in "waves" includes a lot of things such as: Radiation, thermal energy, even matter (which has both a wave length and unless frozen, has energy). So... no natural gas is not more available then "wave energy".

What happens when you increase electromagnetic wave?

To increase the intensity, if that's what you mean, more energy is required. That would also mean that the electromagnetic wave carries more energy.


What do a wave with more energy have?

shorter wavelength


If a wave has a high amplitude then it has?

It has more energy.


A wave with high amplitude?

Has more energy than a wave with low amplitude.


Which carries more energy a wave with short wavelenght or a wave with long wavelenght?

Short Wave length
