* Frequency increases: The number of waves passing a point per second increases.
* Energy increases: The energy carried by each wave increases.
This is because frequency and energy are directly proportional. This relationship is described by the following equation:
E = h * f
where:
* E is the energy of the wave
* h is Planck's constant (a fundamental constant in physics)
* f is the frequency of the wave
So, as frequency goes up, energy goes up proportionally.
Here's an analogy:
Think of a swing. The faster you swing it back and forth (higher frequency), the more energy you have to put into it. Similarly, higher frequency waves carry more energy.
Examples:
* Radio waves on the left side of the spectrum have low frequency and low energy.
* Gamma rays on the right side of the spectrum have high frequency and high energy.
