The energy varies with the frequency, Energy = h x frequency where h is Planck's constant 2/3E-33 Joule second. The higher the frequency the higher the energy.
When the frequency of an oscillating wave {WaveForm aka Particle} increases so in general does it's Energy.

What happens when light and its wavelength travels from one medium to another?
The speed of light and its wavelength decreases when it enters a new medium. The physicist Snell showed that it can vary.
Name a type of visible energy?
Any electromagnetic energy whose wavelength is between roughly 390 and 750 nanometers is visible, if some of it happens to enter your eye. By traditional usage as well as international agreement, this type of electromagnetic energy is widely referred to as "visible light".
How does the amount of energy carried by electromagnetic waves vary by frequency?
You are asking two Questions at once: How does the energy of the different waves of the spectrum vary with frequency? and How does the energy of the different waves of the spectrum vary with wave length? f (Frequency) = c / Lambda.
How does refractive index vary with wavelength?
Part 1 - WHY does refractive index vary?The refractive index of a material is determined by how quickly light travels through it. Different wavelengths travel at different speeds, hence the refractive index varies with wavelength. This is known as (chromatic) dispersion.In glass, red light travels faster than blue light, which is why a prism can be used to split white light into a rainbow.Part 2 - HOW does refractive index vary? (ie. Define the relationship).Sorry - I haven't a clue. I'm looking for the answer as well!
How many joules in a kilo of coal?
The energy content of coal can vary, but on average, one kilogram of coal contains around 24 megajoules (MJ) of energy.

Electromagnetic waves vary in?
Electromagnetic waves vary in wavelength, Energy and frequency E = hf = hc/w.
What is wavelength og light?
Visible 'light' ranges from roughly 380 to 750 nanometers (billionths of a meter). It can vary somewhat for different individuals' eyes. If electromagnetic radiation has a wavelength longer than about 750nm or shorter than about 380nm, you may still call it 'light' if you want, but the human eye doesn't respond to it.

Component of electromagnetic waves that does not vary?
-- Frequency -- Wavelength. -- Speed. While each of these may vary their inter-relationship does not. Frequency - V Wavelength -L Speed - c VL=c is always true. c= varies depending on the medium through which the light is propagated.

What color of light would detect invisible stains?
Ultraviolet light is often used to detect invisible stains such as bodily fluids, certain chemicals, or other substances that fluoresce under UV light. These stains will glow or appear as distinct colors, making them visible under UV light that is not typically visible to the naked eye.
How many joules in a kilo of coal?
The energy content of coal can vary, but on average, one kilogram of coal contains around 24 megajoules (MJ) of energy.
What is the alcohol content of a 24oz can of bud light?
The standard is 4.2% Alc/Vol., but it can vary depending on the laws of the state where it is being distributed.
Are green wavelengths longer than orange wavelengths?
Sound waves are much longer then light waves.
Do gamma rays penetrate more than x rays?
Gamma rays have more energy than visible light rays. Visible light has a longer wavelength. Gamma rays have a shorter wavelength and higher frequency, and have the most energy of all electromagnetic radiation.
