Which wavelength has more energy short or long?

Short wavelengths has more energy. (X-rays Gamma rays belongs to this category.) Long wavelengths has less energy (radio waves and light belongs to this category). I hope this would be enough.


Short wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation have more energy than long wavelengths?

E = hC/ λwhere h is Planck's constantc is speed of lightλ is wavelengthHence,Energy is inversely proportional to wavelengthSo short wavelength has more energy than long wavelength!!


What affects light with short wavelengths more than light with long wavelengths?

Scattering of light


What bends more light waves with short wavelengths or light waves with long wavelenths?

Light waves with long wavelengths


Why are short wavelengths of EM radiation less common then medium wavelengths?

Shorter wavelengths, like gamma rays and X-rays, require more energy to produce than longer wavelengths like visual light.


Why do the waves with shorter wavelengths scatter more than those with long wavelength?

Because they use less energy then longer wavelengths hence they can go farther


Photons with shorter wavelengths have larger what?

More frequency, and more energy.


How does the energy assoicated with waves change wave length changes?

Longer wavelengths (and lower frequencies) have less energy. Shorter wavelengths (and higher frequencies) have more energy.


Which wavelength carries more energy short or long?

Short wavelength wave carry not energy (in proportion to their frequency.)


Do waves with a shorter wavelengths travel faster than waves with longer wavelengths?

The physical length, short wavelengths are shorter than long wavelengthsThe frequency, short wavelengths are higher frequency than long wavelengthsThe energy per photon, short wavelengths have more energy per photon than long wavelengths


1 Explain why shorter wavelengths are more dangerous than those with longer wavelengths?

Shorter wavelengths have more energy E= hc/w and this greater energy can do greater damage by ionizing atoms and changing chemical reactions and changing atoms even the Nucleus.


Why is the sky blue and the sunset red?

colors with short wavelengths scatter more
