Two transverse waves travel through the same medium. Wave X has a much larger amplitude than Wave Y, but both waves have the same wavelength. How does the energy of Wave X compare to the energy of Wave Y?

Wave X carries more energy because it has a larger amplitude. Wave X carries less energy because amplitude does not affect energy. Both waves carry the same energy because they share the same wavelength. Both waves carry the same energy because amplitude does not matter.

Correct Answer:

Wave X carries more energy because it has a larger amplitude.
