What is the shortest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum carries the greatest amount of energy?
The shortest wavelengths have the most energy because it has the highest frequency. A high energy light will have a shorter wavelength than a low energy light. If the wavelength goes down, then the frequency goes up. When calculating energy in the equation, E=hv, frequency (v) is the variable, not the wavelength. So in the equation, if you wanted a more energy (E), you would have the frequency be large. For the frequency to be big, then the wavelength has to be low.
What is a light having one wavelength called?
At a single wavelength, it is called monochromatic
What is the distance from crest to crest of any wave called?
This distance is the wavelength of the wave.
A sound wave that has a higher frequency has a wavelength that is shorter or longer?
A wave with a high frequency has a low wavelength. Wavelength lambda and frequency f are connected by the speed cof the medium. c can be air = 343 m/s at 20 degrees celsius or water at 0 dgrees = 1450 m/s. c can be light waves or electromagnetic waves = 299 792 458 m/s. The formulas are: c = lambda x f f = c / lambda lambda = c / f
What is the distance between adjacent high points or two adjacent low points of a wave?
This is called the wavelength. It is inversely proportional to the frequency.
How was velocity of a wave derived?
The velocity=distance/time ,, Suppose that the distance covered is one complete vibration therefore the distance is called wavelength and the time is called periodic time then velocity=wavelength/periodic time also frequency= 1/periodic time therefore the velocity=wavelength*frequency
What decreases as the frequency of a sound wave increases?
Wavelength.

What is longer than visible wavelength called?
Infrared has a longer wavelength, and a lower frequency, than visible light.
A sound wave that has a higher frequency has a wavelength that is shorter or longer?
A wave with a high frequency has a low wavelength. Wavelength lambda and frequency f are connected by the speed cof the medium. c can be air = 343 m/s at 20 degrees celsius or water at 0 dgrees = 1450 m/s. c can be light waves or electromagnetic waves = 299 792 458 m/s. The formulas are: c = lambda x f f = c / lambda lambda = c / f
What is the number of centimeters between waves of light?
The measure of a light's frequency is called wavelength.
How are you able to change the intencity of a sound wave?
The loudness has to do with the sound field quantity called sound pressure or sound pressure level (SPL). The sound intensity or acoustic intensity means the sound energy quantity. Our ears and the microphone diaphragms are moved by the sound pressure variations. Better control the sound pressure level SPL.
How does the wavelength of light compare to frequency of light?
Ultraviolet light occurs just above the range of electromagnetc radiation that is detectable by the human eye and has a shorter wavelength than violet. This means it has a higher frequency since all light waves are presumed to travell at the same speed, whether visible to us or not. To explain this in simple terms, if two trains are travelling at the same speed, and one has short cars and the other has long cars, the one with the short cars will pass by us more cars per minute than the one with the long cars. This is called frequency...the number of times something happens in a given time frame.
What is the distance between adjacent high points or two adjacent low points of a wave?
This is called the wavelength. It is inversely proportional to the frequency.
What is the distance between the identical spot on two waves?
It depends what the wavelength and frequency of the wave is. The wavelength is the distance between either two minima, or two maxima.
