What less energy a wave has the smaller its?

If it is a mechanical wave, then the lower amplitude waves would have less energy. If you are talking about electromagnetic waves, then higher frequency waves (shorter wavelength) have more energy, and lower frequency waves have less energy.


Is electromagnetic radiation a wave or a mass?

It is both. Since the electromagnetic waves have energy, they also have mass, due to the matter/energy equivalence. Incorrect. Electromagnetic waves have NO mass. Simply because something -- be it heat or a static magnetic field or an EM wave -- has energy, that does NOT mean it has mass. The equivalence of mass and energy is simply a statement that mass is one form of energy -- just like the others I mentioned. The statement, "Mass is a form of energy, therefore all other forms of energy also have mass" is as silly as saying, "A Jew is a type of human being, therefore all other types of human beings are also Jews."


What waves carry more energy than other waves if the amplitudes of waves are equal?

In general, higher frequency waves carry more energy than waves of lower frequency if their amplitudes are equal. This is absolutely true of electromagnetic waves, and can probably be most easily demonstrated there.


What energy transformations occur if final form of the energy is Heat from an electric stove?

So is the "heat" radiant heat, an electromagnetic wave? (Heat is used to mean many things.) Electricity gets turned into the electromagnetic infrared (heat).


Wave that do not require matter to carry energy?

Most waves all require something with mass to be transmitted. However, electromagnetic waves carry energy in the form of photons, which are massless. Since photons are massless, they are not considered matter, but they do indeed carry energy. (This is why something feels warmer when the sun shines on it.) Electromagnetic waves range anywhere from radio waves, microwaves, and the common visible light waves, to x rays, and gamma rays.

On what does the energy of an electromagnetic wave depend?

The energy of an electromagnetic wave depends on its frequency.


What happens to energy of an electromagnetic wave as its frequency increases?

As the frequency of an electromagnetic wave increases, the energy of the wave also increases. This is because the energy of an electromagnetic wave is directly proportional to its frequency, according to Planck's equation (E = hf), where E is energy, h is Planck's constant, and f is frequency.


What kind of wave does electromagnetic energy travel in?

The wave is called an electromagnetic wave.


What is the energy of an electromagnetic wave with a frequency of 8 times 10?

The energy of an electromagnetic wave is directly proportional to its frequency. The energy of a wave with a frequency of 8 times 10 Hz would be 8 times the energy of a wave with a frequency of 1 Hz.


What is the energy of an electromagnetic wave with a frequency of 3x10 9 HZ?

The energy of an electromagnetic wave is directly proportional to its frequency. The energy of a wave with a frequency of 3x10^9 Hz would be E = hf, where h is Planck's constant (6.63x10^-34 J.s). Calculating this would give you the energy of the wave.


What happens when you increase electromagnetic wave?

Increasing the intensity of an electromagnetic wave will result in higher energy and amplitude of the wave, which can lead to increased potential for heating, radiation exposure, and potential health risks. Additionally, at very high intensities, electromagnetic waves can cause damage to living tissues and electronic devices.


What happens to the frequency and energy carried by an electromagnetic wave as the wavelength decreases?

As the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave decreases, the frequency of the wave increases. This means that the energy carried by the wave also increases, as energy is directly proportional to frequency. Therefore, shorter wavelength corresponds to higher frequency and energy in an electromagnetic wave.


Is an electromagnetic a compresinal wave?

No, an electromagnetic wave is NOT a compressional wave. An electromagnetic wave is best described as a transverse wave. Remember that in a compressional wave, the energy moves parallel to the medium of the wave, while in a transverse wave, the energy moves perpendicular to the medium.


What is the relationship between the energy of an electromagnetic wave and its frequency?

The energy of an electromagnetic wave is directly proportional to its frequency. This means that as the frequency of the wave increases, so does its energy.


What does the energy of a electromagnetic wave depend on?

The energy of an electromagnetic wave depends on its frequency. The energy is directly proportional to the frequency of the wave, meaning higher frequency waves have more energy.
