Does a high frequency wave transmit more energy than a low frequency wave?
no.
Do waves with longer wavelengths have less energy than waves with shorter wavelengths?
A high energy light will have a shorter wavelength than a low energy light. If the wavelength goes down, then the frequency goes up. When calculating energy in the equation, E=hv, frequency (v) is the variable, not the wavelength. So in the equation, if you wanted a more energy (E), you would have the frequency be large. For the frequency to be big, then the wavelength has to be low.
The energy carried by a wave is indicated by its?
normally by its frequency....more the frequency greater is the energy of the wave
How is the energy of a photon related to its frequency and wavelength?
wavelength : wavelength is the distance from crest of one wave to the crest of next frequency : the number of waves that passes a given point in one second energy : the amplitude or intensity of a wave energy and frequency is directly proportional to each other when energy is high frequency is also high wavelength and frequency or energy is inversly proportional to each other when wavelength is high frequency or energy is low
Does UV light have the highest energy?
The shortest wavelengths have the most energy because it has the highest frequency. A high energy light will have a shorter wavelength than a low energy light. If the wavelength goes down, then the frequency goes up. When calculating energy in the equation, E=hv, frequency (v) is the variable, not the wavelength. So in the equation, if you wanted a more energy (E), you would have the frequency be large. For the frequency to be big, then the wavelength has to be low. So no UV light doesn't have the most energy Gamma rays do though.
Does a high frequency wave transmit more energy than a low frequency wave?
no.
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
What takes the most energy to generate microwave or ex ray?
An X ray takes more energy to generate because it is higher frequency (second in shortest wavelength only to gamma rays). Microwaves are just higher frequency radio waves.
How frequency are related to energy?
The higher the frequency the more energy per photon.
What is the relationship between a photons energy and its wavelength?
A high energy light will have a shorter wavelength than a low energy light. If the wavelength goes down, then the frequency goes up. When calculating energy in the equation, E=hv, frequency (v) is the variable, not the wavelength. So in the equation, if you wanted a more energy (E), you would have the frequency be large. For the frequency to be big, then the wavelength has to be low.

How does the energy of photon depend on its frequency?
More frequence = more energy.
What do light waves of greater frequency have?
The meaning of a high frequency wave is a shorter wavelength.For electromagnetic waves in general (including light):* At greater frequencies, you get shorter wavelengths.* At greater frequencies, you get more energy per photon.

Does a blue Bunsen flame provide more energy than the yellow one?
Yes. Blue has higher frequency than yellow. As per quantum theory the energy content of photon is directly proportional to the frequency and so blue has high energy concentration.
