Examining 3 Interesting SPM Past Year Paper 1 Questions on "Waves"

1) Year 2008 SPM Physics, P1, Q33: What is the correct relationship between the wavelength of an electromagnetic radiation and the energy it carries?

A. Wavelength short; Energy carried high
B. Wavelength short; Energy carried low
C. Wavelength long; Energy carried high
D. Wavelength long; Energy carried low

Answer A or D? Isn't A or D different words for the same thing? (My email: tutortan1@gmail.com)

2) Year 2005 SPM Physics, P1, Q29 (pg. 9): Which graph represents amplitude moderated waves? A, B, C or D. (What about frequency-modulated waves?)

3) Year 2005 SPM Physics, P1, Q35 (pg. 11):The graphs show the cross-sections of water waves. Which wave has the greatest energy? Wave C has greater amplitude and wave D has greater frequency (than the other waves). So, your answer should be C or D? If the wave is electromagnetic waves and not water waves, would your answer be different? (Google: "energy formula for water waves" and "energy formula for electromagnetic waves" and share your findings by comments to this post please)
