Answer:

as the period decreases, the frequency and energy of the wave increase

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are oscillations of the electric and magnetic fields, described by maxwell's equations, the speed of the wave is called the speed of light

c = λ f

E = E cos (kx - wt)

Angular velocity is related to frequency and period.

w = 2π f = 2π / T

Let's analyze what happens when the wave period decreases, angular velocity and frequency increase.

This increase in frequency is reflected with the Planck equation in wave energy

E = h f

Therefore the wave carries more energy and can lead to stronger interactions with matter.

In summary, as the period decreases, the frequency and energy of the wave increase

A concussion, which is a form of mild traumatic brain injury, occurs after a blow to the head. The brain is surrounded by fluid and protective membranes called meninges, which usually cushion the brain. During an impact, the brain is pushed against the inside of the skull and can be bruised.
