Electromagnetic waves of the longest wavelength carry the greatest energy?
No. The energy of an EM wave is E = h*c / (wavelength), therefore waves with the shortest wavelength (or highest frequency) carry the greatest energy.
What does a wavelength carry?
A wavelength carry energy. Strictly speaking, a wave carries energy. A wavelength is a property of a wave.
Does a high- frequency wave have short wavelength?
Yes, the shorter the wavelength, the higher the energy. Gamma waves have the shortest wavelengths of all the electromagnetic radiation waves and carry the greatest energy. Radio and TV waves have the longest wavelengths and carry the least energy.
What do Light waves carry from place to place?
Light waves are fluctuations in the electromagnetic field. They carry energy.In another model light is composed of photons, energy packets, where the energy is proportional to the color (in the wave model this is the wavelength).
Does short-wavelength light carry more energy or less energy than long-wavelength light?
The shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency, and the higher the energy, so X-rays carry more energy than radio waves.
Electromagnetic waves of the longest wavelength carry the greatest energy?
No. The energy of an EM wave is E = h*c / (wavelength), therefore waves with the shortest wavelength (or highest frequency) carry the greatest energy.
What does a wavelength carry?
A wavelength carry energy. Strictly speaking, a wave carries energy. A wavelength is a property of a wave.
What do waves carry as they move?
mechanical waves carry mechanical energy and electromagnetic waves carry electromagnetic energy.
Does a high- frequency wave have short wavelength?
Yes, the shorter the wavelength, the higher the energy. Gamma waves have the shortest wavelengths of all the electromagnetic radiation waves and carry the greatest energy. Radio and TV waves have the longest wavelengths and carry the least energy.
What kind of wave carries energy?
mechanical waves carry mechanical energy and electromagnetic waves carry electromagnetic energy.
What do Light waves carry from place to place?
Light waves are fluctuations in the electromagnetic field. They carry energy.In another model light is composed of photons, energy packets, where the energy is proportional to the color (in the wave model this is the wavelength).
Electromagnetic waves dont carry any matter what do they carry?
Electromagnetic waves carry energy and information. Energy is transferred through the oscillation of electric and magnetic fields, while information can be encoded in the frequency, amplitude, and phase of the wave.
Does short-wavelength light carry more energy or less energy than long-wavelength light?
The shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency, and the higher the energy, so X-rays carry more energy than radio waves.
What type of EMR has the longest wavelength?
A photon is a fundamental or elementary particle and the carrier of the electromagnetic field. In this light (no pun intended) it can be applied to all electromagnetic energy, including radio waves. There wouldn't be a "lowest frequency" of electromagnetic radiation that was not photonic. ---- ...or if there was it would have a wavelength the size of the Universe : ) Couldn't carry a whole lot of data there...
If a wave has a frequency of 6.9536 x 109 Hz and an energy of 4.6076 x 10-24 J what is its wavelength?
Depends on what it is a wave of. Electromagnetic probably. Wavelength is always velocity (in this case of light) divided by frequency. Waves carry energy per second per area, not just energy.
If the frequency of an electromagnetic wave decreases what will the wavelength do?
It will become longer, and it will carry less energy, its also likely, that if the change or loss in frequency is enough, the radiation will become a different type of electromagnetic radiation in the spectrum like gamma to x-rays or visible light to infrared and so on.
Which wavelength carries more energy short or long?
Short wavelength wave carry not energy (in proportion to their frequency.)
