Detailed explanation-1: -The higher the amplitude, the higher the energy. To summarise, waves carry energy. The amount of energy they carry is related to their frequency and their amplitude. The higher the frequency, the more energy, and the higher the amplitude, the more energy.
Detailed explanation-2: -The amplitude of a wave is related to the amount of energy it carries. A high amplitude wave carries a large amount of energy; a low amplitude wave carries a small amount of energy.
Detailed explanation-3: -If the amplitudes are equal, high-frequency waves carry more energy than low-frequency waves.
Detailed explanation-4: -The more energy the wave has, the farther the particles of the medium move. The distance the particles move is measured by the wave’s amplitude. Wave amplitude is determined by the energy of the disturbance that causes the wave. A wave caused by a disturbance with more energy has greater amplitude.
Detailed explanation-5: -In general, the energy of a mechanical wave and the power are proportional to the amplitude squared and to the angular frequency squared (and therefore the frequency squared). I = P 4 r 2 .
