The higher the frequency of an electromagnetic wave,the more ability to penetrate bodies(or cover larger distances) as a result of increase in energy
What explains this?
Thanks

From this picturedefinately not what happens in the real world, not sure how you came about that description

The frequency of a wave and its energy are directly proportional. This means that as the frequency increases, the energy of the wave also increases. Conversely, as the frequency decreases, the energy of the wave decreases as well.
The frequency of a wave is inversely proportional to its wavelength. This means that as the frequency increases, the wavelength decreases, and vice versa. This relationship is described by the formula: wavelength = speed of light / frequency.
The frequency of a wave can be measured using a tool called a frequency counter or by counting the number of wave crests that pass a fixed point in a given amount of time. It is measured in units of Hertz (Hz).
High frequency waves have a shorter wavelength and carry more energy than low frequency waves. They also vibrate at a faster rate and have a higher pitch. Low frequency waves, on the other hand, have a longer wavelength and carry less energy. They vibrate at a slower rate and have a lower pitch.
The frequency of a wave can affect its behavior in various ways. For instance, higher frequency waves are able to pass through certain materials, such as glass, while lower frequency waves may be reflected or absorbed by the material. Additionally, the frequency of a wave also determines its ability to cause resonance in objects, which can result in amplification of the wave's energy.
