Two waves are shown in the picture below. Which statement correctly describes the waves in the picture?
Wave 1 and Wave 2 have the same frequency, but Wave 1 has more energy because it has a lower amplitude.
Wave 1 and Wave 2 have the same amplitude, but Wave 1 has more energy because it has a greater frequency.
Wave 1 and Wave 2 have the same frequency, but Wave 2 has more energy because it has a greater amplitude.
Wave 1 and Wave 2 have the same amplitude, but Wave 2 has more energy because it has a greater frequency.
