Answer:

The answer to your question is Long wavelengths and low frequencies

Step-by-step explanation:

From Planck's quantum theory we know that the energy of any electromagnetic wave having certain frequency is E = .

Here, is the frequency of the wave.

Hence, more is the frequency of the wave, the wave is more energetic.

We know that wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional to each other.

Some characteristics I think would include that low energy waves have a greater distance between the points on the crest or points on trough in the wave. Greater, longer wavelength. Thus lower frequency hence less energy provided through the wave. The amplitude for low energy waves is less than that of high energy waves. Basically the height of the wave.
