Does a high wavelength have more energy than a low wavelength?
Your terminologies are inconsistent. Wave lengths are not high and low. They are long and short. Short wave (UHF) radio for example. There are two wave characteristics that can be termed high and low: amplitudes and frequencies. Assuming group S wave characteristics (e.g., water and light beam waves) the higher frequency and higher amplitude waves carry the most energy. Ditto for group P wave characteristics (e.g., seismic waves).
Why are high energy waves dangerous?
High energy waves can burn the body and disrupt chemical and electrical activity in the body.
Low and high pitched sounds?
Low pitch = low frequency = long waves. High pitch = high frequency = short waves.
Do longitudinal waves have high energy?
Yes. Longitudinal waves can produce standing waves.
What is water washing onto the beach from waves called?
I'm thinking that your talking about a high tide?
Why do surfers like water with high amplitudes?
They can get a longer ride in the curl.
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

Why does lands end get some really high waves?
Because it's stormy there (if you're referring to water waves)
Can gps signals travel underwater?
No. The GPS signal is high-frequency radio waves. High frequency radio waves cannot travel through water.
What has the author James M Witting written?
James M. Witting has written: 'High solitary waves in water' -- subject(s): Mathematical models, Water waves
Which three factors determine how high the waves in a place will be?
the lenght of the waves , strenght of the waves and the duration o the high waves determine how high the waves in a place will be
What are the different kinds of surfing?
There are numerous varieties of surfing, each with its own special challenges and experiences: Regular Surfing: A surfer uses a surfboard, either a longboard or a shortboard, to ride ocean waves in this conventional kind of surfing. Longboarding: Longboards are longer and wider than regular surfboards, which provides stability and makes it easier to catch waves. They are perfect for novices and have a sleek, fashionable feel. Shortboarding: Because shortboards are smaller and easier to manoeuvre, skilled surfers may execute more daring and high-performance tricks. Surfers who face big waves, which frequently reach heights of 20 to 100 feet or more, need specialized gear and highly developed skills. Tow-in surfing is the practice of employing a boat or jet ski to pull surfers into very high waves that are otherwise impossible to catch by paddling. Surfers who practice stand-up paddle (SUP) surfing combine elements of surfing and paddling by standing while using a paddle and a larger board to catch waves. Bodyboarding: Surfers often lie on their stomachs while they surf waves on a small, rectangular board known as a bodyboard. River surfing is the practice of surfing on still river waves, which can be found in some places with powerful river currents. Surfing and sailing are combined in wind surfing, which uses a sail that is linked to the board for propulsion.
What activities are available on Nosara Beach Costa Rica?
Nosara Beach is one of the three beaches which makes up the community of Nosara. Surfing is the biggest and most popular activity at Nosara Beach. It is known for its high waves and serious surfers.
What does the tide is high mean?
it means that the water is at a high level. the ocean will be closer to you where as a low tide is the opposite and it will be further away
How the waves are made?
The moons gravity pulls the water and makes high tide and low tide
What causes seismic waves during an earthquake?
The seismic waves that cause the majority of damage in earthquakes are the surface waves of which there are two types.Rayleigh waves.Love waves.Surface waves have high amplitudes (which in turn means they have a large amount of energy).These high amplitude surface waves cause surface deformations. Rayleigh waves are very similar to the waves you would see on the surface of water. Love waves are surface shear waves and are similar to the waves you would get if you stretched out a slinky spring then shook one end from side to side.These surface movements create large torsional and shear stresses in buildings and building foundations which are far in excess of what the normal design tolerances would be. As such they are much more likely to cause failure of structures to occur. This is why, in earthquake prone areas such as California, the buildings must be designed to resist these special stresses created by seismic waves as well as the more normal loads caused by the wind and the structures self weight.Please see the related links for more information on the differing types of surface waves.
