Question

5. Compare the energy emitted by waves with long wavelengths to waves with short wavelengths

Answer 1

Explanation:

The energy emitted by long wavelength waves are smaller to those emitted by short wave lengths.

The energy of a wave is a function of its wavelength and frequency.

• The wavelength of a wave is the distance between its crest.
• Frequency is the amount of waves that passes through a point in a period of time.
• Energy of a wave is directly proportional to frequency and inversely proportional to wavelength.
• The higher the frequency of a wave, the more the energy.
• Waves with a high wavelength carries very little energy.
• Long wavelength radiations have a long wavelength as the name implies. They carry very little energy and have low frequency. Examples are infra-red.
• Short wavelength radiations have short wavelength. They carry very high amount of energy and have very high frequency. Examples are x-rays and gamma rays.
