What waves carry more energy than other waves if the amplitudes of waves are equal?

In general, higher frequency waves carry more energy than waves of lower frequency if their amplitudes are equal. This is absolutely true of electromagnetic waves, and can probably be most easily demonstrated there.

What 2 forms of energy are created by waves?
No form of energy is ever created, you can only change one form into another. Waves come in many forms, and all of them carry energy, which can be transformed into other kinds of energy. Water waves, for instance, carry kinetic energy which can drive a generator to produce electrical energy, as well as waste heat energy. Light energy travels as waves, and this can be changed by a solar cell into electrical energy, or by a plant into chemical energy.
Wave that do not require matter to carry energy?
Most waves all require something with mass to be transmitted. However, electromagnetic waves carry energy in the form of photons, which are massless. Since photons are massless, they are not considered matter, but they do indeed carry energy. (This is why something feels warmer when the sun shines on it.) Electromagnetic waves range anywhere from radio waves, microwaves, and the common visible light waves, to x rays, and gamma rays.
What is the rate of converting energy or doing work?
the rate at with electrical energy is changed into other forms of energy is electric power
What substance does respiration release energy from?
it comes from foood like buiscuitand other protein food.
What is two other names for heat energy?
electromagnetic energy is the other name for light energy. Radiant energy is also widely used, though electromagnetic is the most scientific term.
What happens if 2 waves of equal amplitudes and wavelengths travel through a medium in such a way that a particular particle of the medium is at the crest of one wave and the trough of the other?
nothing.
Can waves have the same wavelength but different amplitudes?
no they cant they have to be the same they complete each other
Can two waves have the same wavelength but different amplitudes?
no they cant they have to be the same they complete each other
What are two types of interference waves?
Constructive Interference is when waves allign or "in phase" meaning wave peaks and troughs match. The amplitude of the two waves adds up, creating a bigger combined amplitude.Destructive interference is when waves are "out of phase." The amplitudes along the meeting points of the two waves combine, having a negative effect. If the amplitudes are exactly equal and opposite, the waves will cancel each other out.
Can energy forces cancel each other out?
Yes if they r equal and opposite to each other
What chemical process provides a plant with energy to carry on all other living activities?
Respiration
Is heat energy gained by liquid equal to the heat energy lost by metal?
If no heat is exchanged with other substances, yes.
What determines the amplitude of a wave produced by inference?
The sum of the amplitudes of the waves at each point in space that are interfering with each other.
What determines the amplitude of the wave produced by interference?
The sum of the amplitudes of the waves at each point in pace that are interfering with each other.
Where can you find Snickers Marathon Energy Bars?
I work at a BP and i know we carry them, as well as alot of other BP's.
Is vacuum an insulator or a conductor?
Insulator because there are no particules to carry any kind of energy from one side to the other.
In a tank circuit why can be the energy across the inductor and that of the capacitor not be equal?
When an LC tank is excited at the resonant frequency, the energy across each will be equal (but not necessary equal at a given moment in time). If excited at a frequency other than the resonant frequency, the impedance of the inductor (wjL) and capacitor (1/wjC) will not be equal, therefore energy across each will be different.
