WAVE-ENERGY KEY POINTS
•
High-amplitude waves have more energy than
low-amplitude waves.
Higher Amplitude =
Higher Energy
Lower Amplitude =
Lower Energy
•
High-frequency waves have more energy than
low-frequency waves.
Higher Frequency =
Shorter Wavelength =
Higher Energy
Lower Frequency =
Longer Wavelength =
Lower Energy
•
Waves with a short wavelength are associated with high frequency, so they have high energy.
•
Waves with a long wavelength are associated with low frequency, so they have low energy.
