Energy (E) is equal to amplitude squared (A²). If I double the amplitude squared (A²), what happens to the energy?

Use these numbers to help you:

A² = 4, E = ?

A² = 8, E = ?

• It is halved

• It is doubled

• It is multiplied by 3

• It is multiplied by 4

The drawing shows two waves. Which statement best compares these two waves?

• Wave 1 has a higher frequency because it has a longer wavelength than wave 2.

• Wave 1 has a higher frequency because it has a higher amplitude than wave 2.

• Wave 2 has more energy because it has a higher amplitude than wave 1.

• Wave 2 has more energy because it has a higher frequency than wave 1.

What does energy have to do with wavelength and frequency?

• The higher the frequency the less energy the wave has.

• The lower the frequency the more energy the wave has.

• The shorter the wavelength the more energy the wave has.

• The longer the wavelength the more energy the wave has.
