Here's why:
* Frequency: The number of waves passing a point in a given time (measured in Hertz, Hz).
* Wavelength: The distance between two consecutive crests or troughs of a wave (measured in meters, m).
Energy is directly related to frequency:
* Higher frequency waves have higher energy.
* Lower frequency waves have lower energy.
So, while energy is a key characteristic, it's ultimately determined by frequency.
