Question 15 • Physical Science

Which wave is carrying the most energy?

Answer
A
Image with description A wave with very large amplitude.
B
Image with description A wave with large amplitude.
C
Image with description A wave with medium amplitude.
D
Image with description A wave with small amplitude.

Explanation

For waves of the same type, greater amplitude means greater energy; the energy increases with the square of the amplitude. The wave with a very large amplitude therefore carries the most energy, so the correct choice is “A wave with very large amplitude.”
