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.

<h3>What is the amplitude of the wave?</h3>

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.

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.
