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!!


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.


What are Wavelengths that are short and very high energy called?

Radio waves


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

Scattering of light


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.


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

Light waves with 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


Do short wavelengths have a higher velocity than long wavelengths?

No.
