9.
All waves carry energy from one place to another, but some waves carry more energy than others. A leaf falling on water produces waves so small they are hard to see. An earthquake under the ocean can produce huge waves that cause great destruction.
What affects the energy of a wave? Select the 3 that apply.
a)
The energy in a wave is determined by amplitude, which is the distance from the rest position of a wave to the top or bottom.
b)
Large amplitude waves contain more energy.
c)
The energy in a wave is determined by frequency, which is the number of waves that pass by each second.
d)
The medium (material) moving along with the wave.
