The three most important technical factors in the harnessing of ocean wave energy are:
* The resource. The resource has both a geographical and a temporal distribution. This determines the suitability of a specified location for wave energy conversion. The energy tranpsorted by ocean waves is proportional to wave height squared and to wave period. * The power capture. The energy captured during the converters life time determines its viability in terms of income to cost ratio and also energy payback factor. For an oscillating device the ability to absorbed power is governed by the relative phase and amplitude of the oscillator and the incident wave. * The survivability. A broken wave energy converter is not particularly useful. It must be made strong and clever enough to survive the roughest weather at the chosen location, and also to stand the cyclic loads associated with the oscillatory motion. This is one of the main cost drivers. JH

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.
What does the energy of the wave pulse depend on?
The energy of the wave pulse depends on wave length and frequency.
What transports energy?
A wave transports energy. The greater the energy, the greater the amplitude of the wave.
When A wave transfers energy true or false?
The answer is true. The greater the energy the greater the amplitude.
What type of waves has the least amount of energy?
The type of wave that has the least amount of energy is the longitudinal wave. In contrast, the wave with the most amount of energy is a seismic wave.
What three factors affect a wave?
heat,wind and lunar position
What is a energy wave?
it is a wave that is formed by energy
Is amplitude a measure of a waves energy?

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.
What are the top countries using wave energy?
i only know three they are scotland, portugaland australia.
Which wave carry energy?
Any wave carries energy.
What does the energy of the wave pulse depend on?
The energy of the wave pulse depends on wave length and frequency.
What transports energy?
A wave transports energy. The greater the energy, the greater the amplitude of the wave.
When A wave transfers energy true or false?
The answer is true. The greater the energy the greater the amplitude.
What type of waves has the least amount of energy?
The type of wave that has the least amount of energy is the longitudinal wave. In contrast, the wave with the most amount of energy is a seismic wave.
What are the disadvantages and advantages of wave energy?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of wave energy
How waves transmits energy?
wave transmitt energy the the force that the wave has
Why the wave energy more concentrated on the headlands?
Cuz its where the three lithospheres met - hydrosphere, biosphere and atmosphere
