What does the energy of a mechanical wave depend on?
In fact, energy of the wave is one interpretation of a wave's amplitude. Many versions of amplitude exist. If amplitude has a specific meaning and a specific unit...it needs to be specified. Some examples are displacement amplitude, energy amplitude, pressure amplitude, restoring force amplitude, intensity, decibel level, etcetera.
Is amplitude a measure of a waves energy?
Not exactly. The amplitude of a mechanical wave means how much the particles move from their resting position. The amplitude of an electrical wave specificies how much the voltage or current varies, etc. The amount of energy for a specific wave does depend on the amplitude - more amplitude means more energy. However, the energy also depends on other factors.
The amplitude of a mechanical wave shows?
how much energy the wave is transporting
The energy of an mechanical wave is related to its amplitude?
Yes
Do the energy of a mechanical wave depends on the frequency of the wave?
Yes, energy transfer for mechanical waves is dependant on frequency as well as amplitude. Energy of electromagnetic waves, however, does not rely on frequency but solely on amplitude.

What is the direct measure of energy from mechanical wave?
Amplitude is the direct measure of energy from a mechanical wave.=Waves are produced by something (a medium) vibrating. The farther the medium moves as it vibrates, the larger the amplitude of the resulting wave. For example, you can increase the amplitude of a wave on a rope by moving your hand up and down a greater distance. To do this you have to use more energy. The energy is transfered to the rope. The greater amplitude is a direct measure of the increased energy.=
Does the energy of a wave depend on the amplitude of the wave?
Yes dude the energy of wave depends upon the amplitude The more the trough ( upper part of wave) moves away from the peroendicular distance the more it spends energy i.e. energy is inversely proportional to ampltitude
Why does the amplitude depend on the height of a wave?
This is just the definition of "amplitude". The amplitude of a wave is the height of the wave. "Amplitude" is a fancier name for "height" when we speak about waves.
How is the amplitude of a wave related to the wave?
Energy content of the wave is dependent on the amplitude of the wave
What controls the amplitude of a wave?
wellllll energy of the wave controls the amplitude of a wave
