Answer 1

The correct statement is:

Waves with a short wavelength have a high frequency and high energy.

Short wavelengths are associated with higher frequencies and, consequently, higher energy based on the relation \(E = hf\) (where \(E\) is energy, \(h\) is Planck's constant, and \(f\) is frequency) and the speed of light equation \(c = \lambda f\) (where \(c\) is the speed of light, \(\lambda\) is wavelength, and \(f\) is frequency).
