How does energy associated with waves change as wavelength changes?

Answer 1

Using this equation will help you understand what is going on: E=hc/wavelength

h and c are constants. As wavelength increases, energy decreases.

This is why UV radiation (which has a very small wavelength) has more energy than visible radiation, and this is also why UV radiation causes damage to living things

Answer 2

The light wave would carry more energy as the light's frequency increases. Not only that, you would see the light visually go from a deep red to a very bright violet-white. It would go across the electromagnetic spectrum, from infrared to ultra-violet light.

Answer 3

The shorter the wavelength (and the higher the frequency) the higher the energy.

Answer 4

The energy of the photons decreases as the wavelength increases

Answer 5

As wavelength increases, the amount of energy decreases.

Answer 6

As the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave increases, its frequency and energy decreases.

Wavelength is inversely proportional to energy.

Answer 7

Longer wavelength --> lower frequency --> less energy per photon.

Answer 8

As the wavelength increases, the energy PER PHOTON decreases.
