If it is a mechanical wave, then the lower amplitude waves would have less energy. If you are talking about electromagnetic waves, then higher frequency waves (shorter wavelength) have more energy, and lower frequency waves have less energy.

Waves with the greater amplitudes carry MORE OR LESS energy than waves with smaller amplitudes?
Wave with higher amplitude carry more energy than wave with lower amplitude. For simple consideration, no amplitude is no wave and thus no energy but just a flat surface of water. Wave with amplitude must have higher energy than the no wave.
If wave amplitudes are equal will high-frequency waves carry more or less energy than low-frequency waves?
if wave amplitudes are equal ,will high frequency waves carry more or less energy than low frequency waves
The greater the frequency the greater the what?
Energy. (if you mean E=h*ni) If you're referring to sound then the greater the frequency the smaller the wave length. (v=lambda*f)
The height of a wave or the amount of the wave carries is the amplitude?
the answer is : energy
Rhythmic movement that carries energy from one place to another?
wave

What happens to the total energy in a seismic wave as the wave grows increasingly larger?
The seismic wave's energy gets smaller
Do smaller wavelengths carry less energy?
No. Shorter wavelength quanta packages called photons carry more energy the shorter the wave length gets.
What happens to a wave when you decrease the wave height?
it gets smaller and then there is no more energy to make it travel
When a passes from a less dense medium to a denser one most of the wave energy is?
When a wave passes from a less dense medium to a denser one, most of the wave energy is answer is reflected FALSE
When a wave passes from a less dense medium to a denser one most of the wave energy is?
When a wave passes from a less dense medium to a denser one, most of the wave energy is answer is reflected FALSE
What happens when a seismic wave grows increasingly larger?
The seismic wave's energy get's a-lot smaller
The longer the wavelength of light?
The longer the wavelength of light, the smaller its frequency, and the less energy there is for every photon.
Electromagnetic waves with a longer wavelength has?
An electromagnetic wave with a longer wavelength will have a smaller frequency, and less energy per photon.An electromagnetic wave with a longer wavelength will have a smaller frequency, and less energy per photon.An electromagnetic wave with a longer wavelength will have a smaller frequency, and less energy per photon.An electromagnetic wave with a longer wavelength will have a smaller frequency, and less energy per photon.
When a wave moves from a dense medium to a less dense medium most of the wave energy is?
refracted
When a wave moves from a dense medium to a less dense medium most if the wave energy is what?
Refracted
Does a smaller wavelngth make a wave have more energy?
That depends on what kind of wave you are talking about. In the case of electromagnetic waves, the smaller wavelengths indeed represent more energetic radiation.
