Once the wave has left the source that generated it, the frequency can't be changed.

If you happen to be moving toward or away from the source at a high enough

speed, then the frequency of the radiation may appear to you to be changed.

But it's not.

How is the frequency of an ME wave related to its energy?

The frequency of an electromagnetic (EM) wave is directly proportional to its energy. This means that as the frequency of the EM wave increases, so does its energy. Conversely, a decrease in frequency leads to a decrease in energy of the EM wave.


Is there any way to change the frequency of an EM wave such as applying a force or agent or secondary wave rather than just generating a new wave with the desired frequency?

No.


How is the frequency of an EM wave related to it's energy?

The higher the frequency of a wave, the higher its energy.


What two properties of a em wave change as you move from one part of the em spectrum to another?

frequency and heat. (Color can change, too)


How does the wavelength of a wave change when the frequency changes?

Usually with electromagnetic waves, the frequency and energy is opposite to the wavelength. An EM wave such as radiowaves have huge wavelengths, slow frequencies and small amounts of energy. An EM wave such as X-rays have tiny wavelengths, fast frequencies and large amounts of energy.


How is the energy of an em wave determined?

The energy of an electromagnetic (EM) wave is determined by its frequency and amplitude. The higher the frequency, the higher the energy of the wave. Additionally, the amplitude of the wave also plays a role in its energy content.


Is it possible to create an EM wave with a frequency that changes e.g increases or decreases over time?

No. The frequency of an EM wave depends only on the source, and cannot be altered once it has been emitted.


When you changethe wavelength do you change the frequency?

No, changing the wavelength of a wave does not change its frequency. The frequency of a wave is determined by the source of the wave and remains constant regardless of changes in wavelength.


How does the frequency of a wave change when the period of a wave is doubled?

The frequency is the reciprocal of the period. If the period is doubled, the frequency will change by a factor of 1/2.


Why frequency do not change in refraction?

Frequency of a wave does not change during refraction because frequency is determined by the source of the wave and is a characteristic property of the wave itself. Refraction only affects the speed and direction of the wave, but the frequency remains constant.


What causes the frequency of a wave to change?

The frequency of a wave can change due to the motion of the source or observer relative to each other, known as the Doppler effect. Additionally, a change in the medium through which the wave is traveling, such as a change in its density or temperature, can also cause the frequency of the wave to change.


How can you change the frequency of a wave?

The frequency of a wave can be changed by altering the speed of the wave's source or by changing the medium through which the wave is traveling.
