Intensity vs. Length of Waves

[Quynh Vo]

What is the difference between higher intensity light and a shorter wavelength?

[Cindy Adiwidjaja 1B]

Higher intensity implies larger amplitude/larger "bumps", whereas shorter wavelength implies closer "bumps".

[J Medina 2I]

Shorter wavelengths imply higher frequency (v), means more crowded bumps and higher energy for removing electrons

[Matthew Chan 1B]

A shorter wavelength means that the energy of the radiation increases. Fluctuation in the wavelength of the radiation affects the energy. Intensity is not affected by changing the frequency/wavelength. You can think of the intensity as the amplitude of the wave. Hope this helps.

How does fluctuation in wavelength of energy affect the intensity of the energy? Is it inversely or directly proportional?
