Best Answer

Every radio wave has a different length. It depends on the frequency and is inversely proportional to the speed of light. K1ATV, Mesa AZ

Which wave would more energy a small wave or a large wave?

I suppose you're talking about small wavelenght or large wavelength. In this case, the answer is that a wave with lower wavelenght has more energy than a wave with higher wavelenght.You have to consider that the energy associated to an electromagnetic wave is, according to de Broglie:E = hfwhere h is the Planck constant (which is, more or less, h = 6.626·10-34 Js) and f is the frequency of the wave. The relationship between frequency and wavelenght is given byf = c/lambdawhere c is the speed of light and lambda the wavelenght. So finally you haveE = hc/lambdaAccording to this equation, the higher the wavelenght, the lower the energy.

What is the frequency of a radio wave 2m in a wavelenght?

Frequency = speed/wavelength = 300,000,000/2 = 150,000,000 = 150 MHz. (The ham-radio band from 144 to 148 MHz is usually called the "two-meter band".)
