Question

If you want to study how energetic waves affect matter, you should study waves with a _______.

higher frequency and shorter wavelength
lower frequency and shorter wavelength
longer wavelength and lower frequency

Answer 1

Higher Frequency and shorter wavelength. The energy of light waves increases when there is an increasing frequency and a higher frequency means there are shorter wavelengths. The equation lambda=c/f where lambda is wavelength and f is frequency and c is the speed of the wave.
