Wave Characteristics

How does amplitude affect the energy of a wave?

• Higher amplitude means lower energy

• Higher amplitude means higher energy

• Amplitude does not affect the energy of a wave

• Higher amplitude means lower frequency

TEKS.SCI.8.8A

Compare the relationship between frequency and wavelength in a wave.

• As frequency increases, wavelength increases

• As frequency increases, wavelength decreases

• Frequency and wavelength are not related

• As frequency decreases, wavelength decreases

Explain how the wavelength of a wave changes as you move from radio waves to gamma rays in the electromagnetic spectrum.

• Wavelength increases

• Wavelength decreases

• Wavelength remains the same

• Wavelength first increases then decreases
