If wave speed and frequency are held constant, what factor determines the Energy of a wave?

• Wave Speed

• Frequency

• Wave Length

• Amplitude

• Compression

If Amplitude is held constant, what factor determines the energy of a wave?

• Frequency

• Current

• There is no energy, its a wave

• Refraction

What do we call it when a wave changes direction because it has passed from one medium into another and has changed speeds as a result?

• Refraction

• Reflection

• Rarefaction

• Diffraction

• Interfraction

• They get smaller

• They cancel each other out

• They pass with no change to either wave
