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.

When less energy a wave has the smaller it's?

wavelength will be.


If a wave has less energy what becomes smaller?

If a wave has less energy, the amplitude of the wave becomes smaller. Amplitude is a measure of the maximum displacement of particles in a medium from their resting position. Less energy means the particles are not able to move as far from their resting position, resulting in a smaller amplitude.


What wave with smaller amplitude the wave with lager amplitude?

A wave with smaller amplitude will have fewer particles experiencing maximum displacement compared to a wave with larger amplitude. This means that the smaller amplitude wave will have less energy and a lower intensity than the wave with larger amplitude.


When a wave moves from a dense medium to a less dense medium most if the wave energy is what?

When a wave moves from a dense medium to a less dense medium, most of the wave energy is reflected back into the dense medium, while a smaller portion is transmitted into the less dense medium.


How does the wave from a loud sound compare to the wave of a soft sound?

A loud sound has a higher amplitude and a greater intensity, resulting in a larger wave with greater energy. In contrast, a soft sound has a smaller amplitude and lower intensity, producing a smaller wave with less energy.


Waves with the greater amplitudes carry MORE OR LESS energy than waves with smaller amplitudes?

Wave with higher amplitude carry more energy than wave with lower amplitude. For simple consideration, no amplitude is no wave and thus no energy but just a flat surface of water. Wave with amplitude must have higher energy than the no wave.


What happens if the amplitude is halved?

If the amplitude is halved, the maximum displacement of the wave from its equilibrium position will be reduced. This will result in the wave having less energy and appearing less intense. The wave will also have a smaller maximum height or depth depending on the type of wave.


Is it true that the larger the amplitude of the less energy is transported by the Wave?

No, the energy transported by a wave is proportional to the square of its amplitude. This means that waves with larger amplitudes actually carry more energy compared to waves with smaller amplitudes.


What is the process of a wave getting smaller?

When a wave gets smaller, it is experiencing the process of wave attenuation. This can be caused by factors such as absorption, reflection, or dispersion of energy. As the wave travels through a medium, it loses energy and decreases in amplitude or intensity, resulting in a smaller wave.


Does the amplitude of a wave decrease as the wave becomes smaller?

No, the amplitude of a wave does not decrease as the wave becomes smaller. The amplitude of a wave is determined by the energy of the wave and is not directly related to the size of the wave.


Do smaller wavelengths carry less energy?

No. Shorter wavelength quanta packages called photons carry more energy the shorter the wave length gets.


If wave a carries more energy than wave b then wave b has a smaller what?

If wave A carries more energy than wave B, then wave B has a smaller amplitude, frequency, or wavelength compared to wave A. This means that the properties of wave B are lesser in magnitude than those of wave A.
