Which wave characteristic increases with energy?a) wavelengthb) amplitudec) speedd) frequency​

Answer»

Frequency of a wave INCREASES with energy.

But why?

  • Frequency is the number of full oscillations completed in one SECOND by the particles of the wave.

  • So, the energy POSSESSED by the wave will be given as:

\boxed{ \bf \: E = h \nu}

  • E is the energy, 'h' is the PLANCK's Constant, and \nu is the frequency.

\implies \bf \: E  \propto \:  \nu

  • So, higher the frequency, higher is the energy of the wave.

\implies \bf \: E  \propto \:   \dfrac{c}{ \lambda}

  • So, higher the wavelength, LOWER is the energy of the wave.

\star Hope It Helps.
