Electro-magnetic Radiation and Cresting Amplitude

Marc Meilleur · Dec 24, 2011

In electro-magnetic radiation is the cresting amplitude proportionate to the wavelength; or is it the same for all wavelengths, or is it a variable?

The amplitude is variable, and independent of the wavelength. It's related to how much power the wave carries, and for visible light it's related to the brightness of the light.
