To determine the energy of a wave, you need to know **its amplitude and frequency**.
The energy of a wave is directly related to its amplitude (the height of the wave) and frequency (the number of waves that pass a point in a given amount of time). In many cases, especially for electromagnetic waves, energy can also be related to frequency using Planck's equation, \( E = h f \), where \( E \) is energy, \( h \) is Planck's constant, and \( f \) is frequency.
So, the correct response is:
**its amplitude and frequency**.
