Wave Y and wave Z are two types of electromagnetic waves traveling through a vacuum. Suppose the frequency of wave Y is about three times greater than the frequency of wave Z.Which best compares the energy transferred by the two waves

Respuesta :

Frequency and energy have a direct relationshipWave Y transfers about three times the amount of energy as wave Z because energy and frequency have a direct relationship

Answer:

E y = 3 Ez

Explanation:

Frequency of Y is three times the frequency of Z.

[tex]f_{y} = 3 f_{z}[/tex]

The energy is directly proportional to the frequency.

The relation between energy and frequency is given by

E = h f

where, h is the Plank's constant and f be the frequency.

[tex]E_{y} = h \times f_{y}[/tex]    .... (1)

And

[tex]E_{z} = h \times f_{z}[/tex]     .... (2)

Dividing equation (1) by equation (2), we get

[tex]\frac{E_{y}}{E_{z}} = \frac{f_{y}}{f_{z}}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{E_{y}}{E_{z}} = \frac{3 f_{z}}{f_{z}}[/tex]

So, energy of wave Y is three times the energy of Z.
