In a wave, if the amplitude is increased, what happens to the energy of the wave?
Correct Answer: Energy increases.
- Step 1: Understand what amplitude means. Amplitude is the height of the wave from its rest position.
- Step 2: Know that energy in a wave is related to how big the wave is. Bigger waves carry more energy.
- Step 3: Learn that energy is proportional to the square of the amplitude. This means if you double the amplitude, the energy increases by four times.
- Step 4: If the amplitude increases, the energy of the wave also increases.
