Question

this is a wave pattern diagram for two waves. low amplitude high amplitude which two statements accurately compare the waves? a the low amplitude wave has more energy than the high amplitude wave. b the high amplitude wave has more energy han the low amplitude wave c the frequency for both waves is 3hz. d the waves have the same amount of energy. e the frequency of the low amplitude wave is less than the frequency of the high amplitude wave

Explanation:

1. Wave energy is directly proportional to the square of amplitude, so a high amplitude wave has more energy than a low amplitude one (Statement B is correct).
2. Counting the full wave cycles: both waves have 3 full cycles over the same time span, so their frequencies are equal (Statement C is correct).
3. Statement A is wrong because higher amplitude means more energy. Statement D is wrong because energy depends on amplitude, which differs here. Statement E is wrong because both waves have the same frequency.

Answer:

B. The high amplitude wave has more energy than the low amplitude wave
C. The frequency for both waves is 3Hz.
