Question

A graph with vertical axis Energy Unit and horizontal axis Amplitude Unit. A line goes in straight segments from 1 16 to 2 9 to 4 1. Tara prepared a report to show how the amplitude of waves affects the energy of waves. Is her graphical representation correct? Why or why not?.

Answer 1

The energy of the wave is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude of the wave.

The graphical representation of the curve, that Tara presented, is wrong.

What is the amplitude of the wave?

• It's the height of the wave. It calculated the distance between the peak (the highest point) and the trough (the lowest point).

• The energy of the wave is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude of the wave.

• In the graphical representation of Tara, the curve is downward.

• This is showing that the energy of a wave decreases while the amplitude of that wave increases.

Thus, the graphical representation of Tara is incorrect.
