The lower the frequency is, the less energy the electromagnetic wave carries.
The wavelength is just (186,282 divided by the frequency) miles, or
(300,000 divided by the frequency) kilometers.

Does a wave with low frequency carries less energy than a wave with a high frequency?
Yes. For electromagnetic radiation, the formula is E = hv, where E is energy in Joules, h is Planck's constant, 6.626 × 10-34 m2 kg/s and v is frequency. So the energy of a wave is directly proportional to the frequency. The greater the frequency, the greater the energy.
A wave with high amplitude?
Has more energy than a wave with low amplitude.
Do longitudinal waves have high energy?
Yes. Longitudinal waves can produce standing waves.
Does a high frequency wave transmit more energy than a low frequency wave?
no.
What kinds of light acts like a particle?
All light - or rather, electromagnetic radiation - has both particle and wave properties. However, when the electromagnetic radiation is more energetic - such as in the case of x-rays or gamma rays - the particle aspects are more obvious; on the other hand, when the radiation is low-energy, such as radio waves, the wave properties are more obvious.
An example of a low energy electromagnetic wave is?
radio
What is one low energy electromagnetic wave?
Radio waves. But the question should be, "What is one type of low energy electromagnetic wave?"
If the frequency of an electromagnetic wave is too high or too low?
g
Are grenz rays an example of electromagnetic radiation?
Yes. Grenz rays are 'soft' i.e. low-energy X-rays.
Does a wave with low frequency carries less energy than a wave with a high frequency?
Yes. For electromagnetic radiation, the formula is E = hv, where E is energy in Joules, h is Planck's constant, 6.626 × 10-34 m2 kg/s and v is frequency. So the energy of a wave is directly proportional to the frequency. The greater the frequency, the greater the energy.
Which of the electromagnetic wave types can have a frequency of 100Hz?
If an electromagnetic wave has a frequency of 100 Hz, then its wavelengthin vacuum is almost 1,900 miles, and we would call it a radio wave in the ELF(extremely low frequency) range.
What particle within an atom vibrates to generate electromagnetic radiation?
Vibrate is the wrong word. A charged particle must under go acceleration in order to emit an electromagnetic wave. Usually this happens when an electron 'jumps' from a high energy state to a low energy state.
A wave with high amplitude?
Has more energy than a wave with low amplitude.
Do longitudinal waves have high energy?
Yes. Longitudinal waves can produce standing waves.
Does a high frequency wave transmit more energy than a low frequency wave?
no.

Does a high wavelength have more energy than a low wavelength?
Your terminologies are inconsistent. Wave lengths are not high and low. They are long and short. Short wave (UHF) radio for example. There are two wave characteristics that can be termed high and low: amplitudes and frequencies. Assuming group S wave characteristics (e.g., water and light beam waves) the higher frequency and higher amplitude waves carry the most energy. Ditto for group P wave characteristics (e.g., seismic waves).
