Wave is of two types.
Mechanical wave and electro magnetic wave
In case of mechanical wave, energy is the energy of the particle which performs SHM
E = 2 m pi2 a2 f2
Here m-mass of the particle in the medium, a=amplitude of vibration, f - frequency of vibration.
BUt in case of electromagnetic wave energy is the energy of the photon which is given as E = h f
h=Planck's constant and f - frequency of radiation.

The amount of energy carried by a wave in a certain amount of time?
intensity
What determines the amount of radiant energy that can be carried by an electro magnetic wave?
i believe the frequency
What happens to the frequency and energy carried by an electromagnetic wave as the wavelength decreases?
Shorter wavelength indicates higher frequency and higher energy per photon.
What type of waves has the least amount of energy?
The type of wave that has the least amount of energy is the longitudinal wave. In contrast, the wave with the most amount of energy is a seismic wave.
The energy carried by a wave is indicated by its?
normally by its frequency....more the frequency greater is the energy of the wave
The amount of energy carried by a wave in a certain amount of time?
intensity
What relates to amplitude?
The amount of energy carried by the wave and the maximum displacement from the rest position.
What determines the amount of radiant energy that can be carried by an electro magnetic wave?
i believe the frequency
What happens to the frequency and energy carried by an electromagnetic wave as the wavelength decreases?
Shorter wavelength indicates higher frequency and higher energy per photon.
What is related to the amplitude of sound?
The amplitude of a sound wave is what we perceive as volume. It is the amount of energy "carried" within each period of the wave.
How does the energy carried in a sound wave and the energy in a moving ball?
Energy carried in a sound wave is all around us but energy carried in a ball is causing friction within the ball which is giving it energy
What wave properties dertermined the energy carried by a wave?
Amplitude.
Are sound waves in solar energy?
No, sound wave is translating wave of the matter. The solar energy is the wave carried by photon which is an energy (non-matter). There is no way a sound wave would be carried in the stream of photon.
What type of waves has the least amount of energy?
The type of wave that has the least amount of energy is the longitudinal wave. In contrast, the wave with the most amount of energy is a seismic wave.
What is the main difference between radio wave and a light wave?
The difference is their wavelengths. That means that their frequencies are different, and also the amount of energy carried by each photon.
Is energy carried by a wave?
If the energy is made by propulsion... Yes..
The energy carried by a wave is indicated by its?
normally by its frequency....more the frequency greater is the energy of the wave
