Do Electric fields really contain energy in them? [closed]

If we assume that energy was first absorbed by q1 and then released by it which then reaches q2 , the same as , electric field not being absorbable and somehow magically gives the energy to q2 and q1 ...

Do frequency of electromagnetic waves determine its energy, actually?

In a disturbance in water, the effect of disturbance reduces at distance as the area the wave covers increases decreasing the energy density, ensuring total energy given remains constant. Thinking ...

Standard formula for energy density of electromagnetic field

The formula for energy density of electromagnetic field in electrodynamics is $$\frac{1}{8\pi} (\vec E\cdot\vec D+\vec B\cdot\vec H).$$ This formula appears in all general physics courses I looked at. ...
