Question
describing the relationship between the energy a wave carries and its amplitude
which statement correctly describes the relationship between the energy of a wave and the waves amplitude?
high energy waves have high amplitudes.
low energy waves have high amplitudes.
high and low energy waves have the same amplitudes.
Brief Explanations
The energy of a wave is directly proportional to the square of its amplitude. So, higher - amplitude waves carry more energy.
