What kind of EM wave has the lowest energy?
radio wave
How is wavelength of an EM wave related to its energy?
The shorter the wavelength of a wave, the higher its energy.
How em wave are generated from photon?
em wave is generated by photons which emitter the energy in the form of light
How is the frequency of an EM wave related to it's energy?
The higher the frequency of a wave, the higher its energy.
How does the wavelength of a wave change when the frequency changes?
Usually with electromagnetic waves, the frequency and energy is opposite to the wavelength. An EM wave such as radiowaves have huge wavelengths, slow frequencies and small amounts of energy. An EM wave such as X-rays have tiny wavelengths, fast frequencies and large amounts of 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.
How do you find energy of an EM wave?
E=hv Where: E is energy h is plank's constant and v is frequency.
What type of EM radiation has the shortest wave length and the most energy?
gamma rays
Which of the EM waves has the highest energy?
The ones we call "gamma rays" do. Their frequency is so high that in the time of one cycle, light travels only a distance similar to the size of an atom.
Is a EM wave a sound wave?
electromagnetic wave is not a sound wave
What happens when EM waves encounter a medium?
The energy in the wave is partly transmitted, partly absorbed, and partly reflected.
What type of light waves carry the most energy?
Gamma radiation is an extremely high frequency EM wave and is probably the common lightwave with the highest energy. Since energy is proportional to frequency, the highest energy wave would be that with the highest frequency.
