Maddox (given name) Maddox is a mainly male name in use in English speaking countries derived from a Welsh surname meaning son of Madoc.. Madoc or Madog was a legendary Welsh prince who in Welsh folklore sailed to the New World three hundred years before Christopher Columbus. The name means fortunate and is derived from the Welsh word mad.
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 with a large amplitude will be particularly tall, and a wave with a small aptitude will be particularly short. It turns out that the amplitude tells you how much energy is in the wave. A high amplitude wave is a high-energy wave, and a low-amplitude wave is a low-energy wave. In the case of sound waves, a high amplitude sound will be loud, and a low amplitude sound will be quiet. Or with light waves, a high amplitude beam of light will be bright, and a low amplitude beam of light will be dim. But amplitude isn't the only factor that affects the energy of a wave. The other factor is frequency.
