Answer:
The energy of a wave is inversely proportional to the wavelength of the wave.
As wavelength increases, the energy of the wave decreases.
As wavelength decreases, the energy of the wave increases.
Explanation:
The energy of a wave is directly proportional to the wave's frequency. As frequency increases, so does the energy of the wave.
(energy
is proportional to frequency
)
<u>How is this related to wavelength?</u>
Frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength. That means that as frequency increases, wavelength decreases and as frequency decreases, wavelength increases.
(frequency
is inversely proportional to wavelength
)
Therefore, as wavelength increases, the energy of a wave decreases and as wavelength decreases, the energy of a wave increases.
