Question

What is the relationship between the wavelength of a wave and its energy

Answer 1

Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive points of the wave that are in the same phase. The relationship between wavelength, frequency, and velocity of a wave is given by v = f λ where f is the frequency of the wave and λ is the wavelength.

Answer 2

Inverse relation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let E is the energy of the wave and
`\lambda` is its wavelength. The energy of the wave is given by :

`E=(hc)/(\lambda)`..............(1)

Where

h = Planck's constant

c = speed of light

`\lambda` = wavelength of a wave

It is clear from equation (1) that the energy is inversely proportional to the wavelength of a wave. So, there exists an inverse relationship between the energy and the wavelength of the wave.
