The correct response is:
**Wave energy is directly proportional to the amplitude of the wave.**
This relationship is important because the energy of a wave is related to its amplitude squared. Higher amplitude waves carry more energy.
**Wave energy is directly proportional to the amplitude of the wave.**
This relationship is important because the energy of a wave is related to its amplitude squared. Higher amplitude waves carry more energy.
