Based on wavelength, which graph shows a wave with greater energy and why?

• Graph on the Left has more energy because the wavelength is shorter.

• Graph on the Right has greater energy because the wavelength is shorter .

• Graph on the Right has more energy because the wavelength is longer.

Which statement is true about the blue and red waves?

• Both waves have the same amplitudes, but different wavelengths and frequencies.

• Both waves have the same frequencies and wavelengths but different amplitudes.

• Same amplitudes, wavelengths and frequencies.

Of the two waves presented, which wave has the greatest energy?

• Top wave (higher frequency/shorter wavelength)

• Bottom wave (lower frequency/longer wavelength)

• Both waves have the same amplitude, therefore the same energy.
