Question

analyzing amplitude

1. based on their amplitudes, which wave has more energy than wave d, assuming the axis for each wave is the same?

a. waves a, b, and c
b. wave a
c. wave b
d. wave c
check answer

Explanation:

The energy of a wave is directly proportional to the square of its amplitude. A larger amplitude means more energy. By visually comparing the amplitudes of the waves (assuming the axis for each wave is the same), Wave A has a greater amplitude than Wave D. Waves B and C have smaller amplitudes than Wave D.

Answer:

B. Wave A
