There are several types of wave energy.

Sound waves carry energy from the source of the sound to your ears. Loud sounds can damage your ears, and even make windows rattle.

Light waves are another form of wave energy. Laser beams are very powerful light beams that can cut or weld metals.

Water waves can carry a surfboard rider to the beach, damage jetties and change the shape of the coastline.

Shock waves produced by earthquakes can make buildings move and do enormous amounts if damage.

Our ear drums and microphone diaphragms are moved by sound pressure motions and not by sound energy or sound intensity.

What is a energy wave?

it is a wave that is formed by energy


Hich of these wave components determine a wave's energy?

The amplitude of a wave is the factor that determines a wave's energy. Amplitude is the measure of the height of the wave, which correlates with the energy the wave carries. Waves with larger amplitudes have more energy.


What is the relationship between the energy of a wave and its frequency in the wave equation?

In the wave equation, the energy of a wave is directly proportional to its frequency. This means that as the frequency of a wave increases, so does its energy.


What controls the amplitude of a wave?

wellllll energy of the wave controls the amplitude of a wave


Which wave carry energy?

Any wave carries energy.


Which property of a wave increases as the waves energy increases?

The amplitude of a wave increases as the wave's energy increases. Amplitude refers to the maximum displacement of a wave from its equilibrium position. A higher energy wave will have a greater amplitude compared to a lower energy wave.


Does the energy of a mechanical wave depend on the amplitude of the wave?

No, the energy of a mechanical wave does not depend on the amplitude of the wave. The energy is determined by the frequency and the medium through which the wave is traveling. Amplitude only affects the intensity or loudness of the wave, not the total energy.


What type of energy does a transverse wave carry?

A transverse wave carries both kinetic energy, which is the energy of the wave's motion, and potential energy, which is the energy stored in the wave's position and shape.


If the amplitude of a wave is increased then the energy that a wave carries what?

If the amplitude of a wave is increased, the energy that the wave carries also increases. Amplitude is directly proportional to energy in a wave, so as the amplitude grows, the energy of the wave increases.


What happens to the energy in a seismic wave as the wave grows larger?

As a seismic wave grows larger, the energy it carries remains constant. The amplitude (height) of the wave increases, but the total energy the wave carries does not change. The energy is redistributed within the wave to accommodate the larger amplitude.


What does the energy of the wave pulse depend on?

The energy of the wave pulse depends on wave length and frequency.


What wave component determine a waves energy?

The amplitude of a wave determines its energy. The larger the amplitude, the more energy the wave carries.
