The graph shows the relationship between wave amplitude and wave energy. How does the wave's energy change as the wave's amplitude changes?

• They are indirectly proportional. As the energy increases, the amplitude decreases.

• They are directly proportional. As the energy increases, the amplitude decreases.

• They are indirectly proportional. As the energy increases, the amplitude increases.

• They are directly proportional. As the energy increases, the amplitude increases.
