A wavelength doesn't have energy. The wave does.
The details depend on the type of wave.
Assuming an electromagnetic wave, you have to multiply the frequency by Plank's constant. To find the frequency, divide the speed of the wave by the wavelength.
The shorter the wavelength of a wave, the higher its energy.
A wavelength carry energy. Strictly speaking, a wave carries energy. A wavelength is a property of a wave.
The shorter the wavelength of a wave, the higher its energy.
Energy does not effect WAVELENGTH, it effects the AMPLITUDE of the Wave.
shorter wavelength
The shorter the wavelength of a wave, the higher its energy.
A wavelength carry energy. Strictly speaking, a wave carries energy. A wavelength is a property of a wave.
-- I have to assume that the '520' figure is also a wavelength in nm.-- The energy of a photon is proportional to its frequency. That also meansthat the energy is inversely proportional to its wavelength. So the photonwith the greater wavelength has less energy.-- 720/520 = 1.385The shorter-wave photon has 38.5% more energy than the longer-wave one.-- 520/720 = 0.722The longer wave photon has 72.2% as much energy as the shorter-wave one has.
The shorter the wavelength of a wave, the higher its energy.
Energy of light photons is related to frequency as Energy = h(Planck's constant)* frequency Frequency = velocity of wave / wavelength So energy = h * velocity of the wave / wavelength
Energy does not effect WAVELENGTH, it effects the AMPLITUDE of the Wave.
If you are talking about an electromagnetic wave; energy is proportional to frequency (E=hf), and frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength (wavelength equals velocity divided by frequency). So when the wavelength is increased, the energy is decreased.
Wavelength.
shorter wavelength
The relationship between wavelength and energy depends on the type of wave. For electromagnetic waves, the shorter wavelengths are associated with higher energy levels. Electromagnetic energy travels in waves, and the length of the wave is inversely proportional to the energy the wave carries. Higher energy, shorter wavelengths. Lower energy, longer wavelengths.
Both a wave with long wavelength and a wave with short wavelength can have a lot of energy, or little energy.Specifically in the case of electromagnetic waves, a short wavelength corresponds to high energy - but this is only the energy PER PHOTON. But note that each of such waves usually consists of a lot of photons.
Depends on the wave. In electromagnetic waves, a shorter wavelength means a higher frequency - and the energy of a photon is directly proportional to frequency.
