What wave would have more enery one with a long wavelength or a short wavelength?

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.


Which carries more energy a wave with short wavelenght or a wave with long wavelenght?

A wave with a shorter wavelength carries more energy than a wave with a longer wavelength. This is because shorter wavelengths have higher frequencies, which means they have more oscillations per unit time, resulting in more energy being transferred by the wave.


Does short-wavelength light carry more energy or less energy than long-wavelength light?

Short-wavelength light carries more energy than long-wavelength light. This is because energy is directly proportional to frequency, and shorter wavelengths have higher frequencies. This relationship is described by Planck's equation, E = h*f, where E is energy, h is Planck's constant, and f is frequency.


Which wavelength has more energy short or long?

Short wavelengths has more energy. (X-rays Gamma rays belongs to this category.) Long wavelengths has less energy (radio waves and light belongs to this category). I hope this would be enough.


Does a pitched baseball have a long wavelength or a short wavelength?

There is a simple answer and a complicated answer. The simple anser is, "Neither", the complicated answer is , "It depends."

Do radio waves have short or long wavelength?

Short wavelength


Does ROY G. BIV list colors from long wavelength to short wavelength or short to long wavelength?

The color of visible light with the longest wavelength is red; the color with the shortest is violet. So "ROY G. BIV" lists the colors from long to short wavelength. Just to confuse you, we'll also mention that it lists them from lowest to highest frequency.


What is the opposite of long wavelength?

Short wavelengths.

What affects light with short wavelength more than light with long wavelength?

Scattering of light


Is the wavelength of infrared light too long or short for humans to see?

The wavelength of infrared light is too long for humans to see.


If the wavelength is long do the quanta have high or low energy?

If the wavelength is long, the quanta have low energy. This is because energy is inversely proportional to wavelength, according to the equation E = hc/λ, where E is energy, h is Planck's constant, c is the speed of light, and λ is wavelength.


Short wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation have more energy than long wavelengths?

E = hC/ λwhere h is Planck's constantc is speed of lightλ is wavelengthHence,Energy is inversely proportional to wavelengthSo short wavelength has more energy than long wavelength!!
