How does changing the frequency affect the energy of the wave?

Frequency is the number of ways that pass by each second, measured in hertz. So a wave of a particular amplitude will transmit more energy per second if it has a higher frequency, simply because more waves are passing by in a given period of time.

In fact, in the case of electromagnetic waves like visible light, radio waves, microwaves, infrared, ultraviolet, x-rays, and gamma rays, the frequency and amplitude collectively tell you how much energy is stored inside the wave. For example, light is a wave, but it also contains particles called photons. And each of those photons contains an amount of energy that is proportional to the frequency. So high-frequency light has photons with high energies and appears blue in color.

Thus amplitude and frequency are the two factors that affect the energy transferred by a wave: the height of the wave, and the number of waves passed by each sec

The energy of a wave is directly proportional to its frequency.

Explanation:

The energy of a wave is given by the formula as follows :

E=h\nu

h is Planck's constant

\nu is the frequency of a wave.

If the frequency of a wave increases, its energy will increase. While if the frequency of a wave decreases , its energy will decrease.
