It works pretty much like if you're talking about the length of words instead of wavelength. If you use long words you'll only be able to fit a certain number of words onto each page. By using shorter words the same page, and the same letter size can hold more words. More words = more data

What do a wave with more energy have?
shorter wavelength
Is this true or false the shorter the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation the more energy carried by the wave?
This is true. Each photon carries more energy when it has shorter wavelength / higher frequency.
A wave of electromagnetic radiation has more energy if it?
... shorter in wavelength.
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.
In the electromagnetic spectrum is determined by its wavelength?
In the visible spectrum the color is determined by its' wavelength. The energy of the quantum package is determined by the wavelength. The shorter the wavelength the more power per package.
What do a wave with more energy have?
shorter wavelength
Will people be affected by electromagnetic radiation?
that depends on the wavelength of the radiation. the shorter the wavelength the more damage it can do.

This is true. Each photon carries more energy when it has shorter wavelength / higher frequency.
A wave of electromagnetic radiation has more energy if it?
... shorter in wavelength.
Why is a shorter wavelength of light emitted when an electron falls from n4 to n1 than when an electron falls from n2 to n1?
The shorter the wave length the more energy. The further the electron falls, the more energy that will be emitted and the shorter the wavelength.
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.
Why shorter wavelength blu ray can store more information than longer wavelength DVD?
Because the shorter wavelength needs less area to interact with matter. So the same amount of physics space on a DVD can be used more efficiently.
Two characteristics give a DVD more storage than a CD?
The DVD uses a different laser with a smaller wavelength, not the long wavelength red laser that is used for CD's. I believe the DVD laser is in the ultraviolet spectrum. Anywho, the smaller laser allows the DVD to have smaller "bumps" (which is what the laser reads). Since they are smaller, more can fit onto a disk. Also, DVD's can be 2-layer. Twice the data.
Is it true ultraviolet light had longer wavelength than visible light?
No, UV light has more energy than visible light and therefore has a shorter wavelength
In the electromagnetic spectrum is determined by its wavelength?
In the visible spectrum the color is determined by its' wavelength. The energy of the quantum package is determined by the wavelength. The shorter the wavelength the more power per package.
Does photon of 420nm contain more energy than a photon of 790nm?
Yes. Energy is inversely proportional to wavelength. Shorter wavelength = more energetic.
Why does blue light scatter more than red light?
blue light has shorter wavelength than the red light.scattering of light is more when wavelength is small.
