The energy transported by a wave is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude of the wave. This energy-amplitude relationship is sometimes expressed in the following manner. This means that a doubling of the amplitude of a wave is indicative of a quadrupling of the energy transported by the wave.
A wave has a wavelength, an amplitude, a frequency, and a period. The wavelength is the distance from one peak to the next, or from one trough to the next. The amplitude is the maximum height of a wave from its rest position. The frequency is the number of waves per second.
