Question

What is the relationship between the wavelength of a wave and its energy

Answer 1

Answer:

Inverse relation.

Explanation:

Let E is the energy of the wave and $\lambda$ is its wavelength. The energy of the wave is given by :

$E=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}$..............(1)

Where

h = Planck's constant

c = speed of light

$\lambda$ = wavelength of a wave

It is clear from equation (1) that the energy is inversely proportional to the wavelength of a wave. So, there exists an inverse relationship between the energy and the wavelength of the wave.

Answer 2

Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive points of the wave that are in the same phase. The relationship between wavelength, frequency, and velocity of a wave is given by v = f λ where f is the frequency of the wave and λ is the wavelength.
