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.


What is the si unit for amplitude?

Amplitude is used for different waves. For a water wave, the amplitude might be measured in units of length (meters or centimeters), for a sound wave, in units of pressure, for an electromagnetic wave, in terms of electrical properties, for an electrical signal, in volts, etc. - so it really depends on the kind of wave.

What is a measure of a waves energy?

the amplitude of a wave shows how much energy it has eg, a smaller voltage ac supply on an oscilloscope would be much smaller than say a higher voltage such as main electrical pylons. if you mean waves at sea then i would presume it would have to be measured in joules as this the standard SI unit for energy.
