∙ 10y agoIn the case of waves on liquids like water, for example, it's very easy. We know that it requires energy to lift objects. If you place an object that floats in the path of a series of waves you will notice that the object moves up and down more or less in step with the waves. If the waves did not carry energy then they would not be capable of making the object move.

What Is an accurate description of the amplitude of a wave?
The amplitude of a wave is the top or bottom half of a wave. The middle of the wave is considered the "zero position" so the top of every peak tells how much energy is left in the wave.
How much energy does wave energy produce?
500w
The amplitude of a mechanical wave shows?
how much energy the wave is transporting
How much energy does wave power provide?
I'm not exactly sure but it is not very much. It also depends on how strong the wave is.
What are waves that have the most light energy?
The shorter the wavelength, the more energy. In terms of visible light, this means that violet light has the most energy. Of course, there are invisible frequencies that have even more energy. -------------------------------- Not all waves carries electromagnetic energy, what you call "light energy". Sound propagates in materials like a wave and in general relativity even gravitational wave exists.. If we limit to electromagnetic waves, the quantum field theory tells us that the power P (energy per second) carried by an electromagnetic wave is equal to P=n h f where n is the number of photons carried by the wave per second, h is the Plank constant (a universal constant appearing in all quantum theories) and f the wave frequency. The term Eq=h f is also the energy quantum of the wave, that is the energy of one photons. Thus we have essentially two ways to increase the wave power: either increasing the number of photons travelling through the wave front per second or increase the frequency f, that is increasing the energy of one photon. The wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency, thus higher the frequency lower the wavelength. If we compare waves carrying the same photons flux (number of photons per second) the more energetic wave (the wave carrying more energy per second) is the wave having higher frequency. This is why high frequency waves like gamma rays conveys a lot of energy even if they have a small number of photons. The different energy of the single photon has also an important impact on how the wave interact with matter.
The height of a wave or the amount of the wave carries is the amplitude?
the answer is : energy

Vibrations that travel through Earth carrying the energy released during an earthquake?
It is a seismic wave.
What is vibrations that travel through earth carrying the energy released during and earthquake?
A specific type of mechanical wave known as a seismic wave.
How much energy does wave energy produce?
500w
The amplitude of a mechanical wave shows?
how much energy the wave is transporting
How much sources is there in wave energy?
20
How does the wave transport water molecules from the source of the vibration?
When a wave travels through water, it causes the water molecules to move in a circular motion in the direction of the wave propagation. This circular motion transfers energy from molecule to molecule as the wave passes by, eventually carrying the water molecules along with it. This is how water molecules are transported from the source of the vibration by the wave.
What is the relationship between a wave's amplitude and energy?
The energy and the amplitude are related in such a way that, the greater the amplitude the greater is the energy. The sound pressure amplitude tells about how loud the tone will be.
What does it mean when sound waves are reflected of canyon walls?
It means that the sound wave goes toward the canyon wall, and then a wave carrying part of the energy comes back from the canyon wall. The remaining energy will be absorbed or will pass through.
How much energy does wave power provide?
I'm not exactly sure but it is not very much. It also depends on how strong the wave is.
