Several factors contribute to wave size, including wind speed, wind duration, and fetch (the distance over which the wind blows). Stronger winds blowing for a longer time over a longer distance tend to produce larger waves. The depth and shape of the seafloor also play a role in wave size.

What kind of waves does light energy travel?

Light energy travels in the form of electromagnetic waves. These waves are composed of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that propagate through space. The wavelength of light determines its color, and the frequency determines its energy.


What wave characteristic determines the volume of a sound?

The amplitude of a sound wave determines its volume. Higher amplitude waves have louder volumes, while lower amplitude waves have quieter volumes.

What characteristic of sound determines how far it can travel before dying out?

The characteristic of sound that determines how far it can travel before dying out is its intensity or amplitude. Sound waves with higher intensity can travel further before their energy is dissipated and they become too weak to be detected.
