• Wavelength

Multiple Choice

Based on wavelength, which graph shows a wave with greater energy and why?

• Graph on the Left has more energy because the wavelength is shorter.

• Graph on the Right has greater energy because the wavelength is shorter .

• Graph on the Right has more energy because the wavelength is longer.
