4.

Two waves are shown in the picture below. Which statement correctly describes the waves in the picture?

a)

Wave 1 and Wave 2 have the same frequency, but Wave 1 has more energy because it has a lower amplitude.

b)

Wave 1 and Wave 2 have the same amplitude, but Wave 1 has more energy because it has a greater frequency.
