Think this over? wave

Simple.

Let's think it over.

Why high frequency wave is high energy state than lower one?

Everyone know this phenomena well.

But how to we describe it exactly?

Don't use E=hv =h / lamda equation.

Why do faster moving objects have more kinetic energy, don't use the equations for kinetic energy?

What's the difference between a duck?

"Everyone know this phenomena well."

But please don't use the answer that "its leg are both the same".

 

OK, That's probably enough piss taking.

 

Alpha, it is clear that you did not express the question clearly.

What did you mean?

I mean" Why short wave has high energy than long wave?"

How to explain this?

Energy ====> potential energy, kinetic energy, wave energy, ...

Can we describe the wave energy as other energy or other mathematical forms?

OK, look at the wiki page for simple harmonic motion:

We have:

And for a wave we have wavelength = speed / f.

 

 

[Random gibberish alert!]

Now suppose we set amplitude = wavelength. Maybe something interesting happens?

Or you could use these equations, if you don't consider that cheating:
