Tag: Higher frequency higher energy

To summarise, waves carry energy. The amount of energy they carry is related to their frequency and their amplitude. The higher the frequency, the more energy , and the higher the amplitude, the more energy.

Frequency is the number of ways that pass by each second, measured in hertz. So a wave of a particular amplitude will transmit more energy per second if it has a higher frequency, simply because more waves are passing by in a given period of time .27 Kas 2021

Frequency –> Energy The higher the frequency of light, the higher its energy . We know from the problems above that higher frequencies mean shorter wavelengths. We can also say that E = h c / lambda. High frequency light has short wavelengths and high energy.6 Ara 2011
