Which transmits more energy if two waves has same amplitude and same speed but differ in wavelength?

The wave with the shorter wavelength will transmit more energy than the one with the longer wavelength if two waves have the same amplitude and same speed but differ in wavelength. The energy transmitted by the shorter wavelength will normally be four times more than the energy transmitted by the longer wavelength.

How does the amount energy affect the size of the wavelength?
Energy does not effect WAVELENGTH, it effects the AMPLITUDE of the Wave.
What happens to the amplitude of the wave if the energy increases?
what happens to the amplitude of a wave when the energy increases
What property of a wave increases as the waves energy increases?
When energy increases, the frequency increases.Source(s):my brain7th grade science textbook
How many value of amplitude are there in one wavelength of a wave and how is the amplitude related to the energy of a wave?
-- Frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional. Their product is constant, and is the speed of the wave. They're entirely unrelated to amplitude or energy. -- A wave with greater amplitude carries more energy than one with smaller amplitude does. -- IF your wave happens to be an electromagnetic one, THEN the energy carried by each quantum is proportional to the frequency.
Electromagnetic waves differ only in their what their energy and their frequency?
wavelength,frequency, and speed

How is the energy of a wave relate to its amplitude?
wavelength is the distance from the peak of one wave to the peak of the next. In this diagram, the wavelength is measured from crest to crest, but the wavelength could be measured from trough to trough as well.A wave's amplitude is the maximum distance that a wave vibrates from its resting position. In a transverse wave, this means that the amplitude of the wave is the highest or lowest point. In a longitudinal wave, the amplitude is the maximum distance the wave travels back or forth. The more energy the wave has, the larger the amplitude will be.
Doubling the amplitude of wave cause its energy to?
The energy of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency. (The proportionality constant is Planck's Konstant.) If one photon has double the wavelength of another, then its frequency is 1/2 the frequency of the other one, and its energy is also half.
When a waves' amplitude increases does the frequency change?
Velocity of wave = frequency * wavelength (the universal wave equation does not involve amplitude) There is no direct relationship between the amplitude and the wavelength of a wave and therefore if the amplitude increases the wavelength will not necessarily change.
The types of radiant energy differ in their?
Frequency or wave length.
Properties of Waves?
The main characteristics of waves are: 1. Amplitude or height of the wave. 2. Wavelength, or the distance between crests. 3. Period or the length of time for a wave to pass a point. 4. Frequency or the number of complete waves passing a point. 5. Speed or the horizontal speed of the wave as it grows.
What property of a wave increases as the waves energy inceases?
An increase in energy corresponds to an increase in frequency or a decrease in wavelength.
How do you increase the wavelength of a wave?
The expression for the energy of a mechanical wave is E = 2 m pi2 nu2 a2 m - mass of the particle in the medium nu - frequency of the wave a - amplitude of wave. So to increase the energy we may increase the frequency or amplitude of wave. If m is larger then more energy is required to have the same amplitude. Hence with increased mass more energy will be stored.
