Question

Which describes the amplitude of a wave when it carries more energy?

Answer 1

Answer:

It is higher.

Explanation:

The amplitude of a wave that carries more energy is usually higher.

The energy carried by a wave is related to the amplitude in such a manner that it is proportional to the square amplitude.

Amplitude is the maximum vertical displacement of a wave moving along its path.

• Energy of wave and its amplitude are directly proportional to one another.
• If the energy of wave is doubled, the amplitude is quadrupled.
• So, the higher the energy of a wave, the more its amplitude.

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is A: It is higher.

Explanation:

When the amplitude of a wave is increased, the energy also increases.  Also, as anticipated, if the amplitude is decreased, then the energy in the wave will decrease.
