Why do short wavelengths carry a huge amount of data not long?
I think this is because short wavelengths are faster

The previous answer is very good. I also want to address your last statement. The speed of light is a constant of nature, identically the same for all electromagnetic wavelengths and frequencies.Seneka said:Why do short wavelengths carry a huge amount of data not long?

This is a topic that confuses everyone at first because the terms are strange and used in unfamiliar ways.Seneka said:Why do short wavelengths carry a huge amount of data not long?

Short wavelengths carry a larger amount of data because they have a higher frequency, meaning they oscillate more times per second. This allows for more data to be transmitted in a shorter amount of time.
The higher the frequency of a wavelength, the more data it can carry. This is because higher frequencies have shorter wavelengths, meaning more cycles can occur in a given time period, allowing for more data to be transmitted.
There is no physical limit to the amount of data that can be carried by short wavelengths. However, there may be practical limitations based on the technology and equipment used for transmission and reception.
While long wavelengths may not be able to carry as much data as short wavelengths, they can still carry a significant amount. This is because they have a lower frequency and can still transmit data, just at a slower rate compared to short wavelengths.
The size of a wavelength does not directly affect its ability to carry data. However, as mentioned before, shorter wavelengths have a higher frequency and can transmit data faster, making them more efficient for carrying a larger amount of data in a shorter amount of time.
