Increases.
More precisely:
- Increasing amplitude increases the wave's energy (energy ∝ amplitude^2 for most waves).
- Increasing frequency also increases energy. For many mechanical waves the energy carried scales roughly with f^2 (since ω = 2πf), while for electromagnetic radiation the energy of each photon is directly proportional to frequency: E = h f.
So higher amplitude or higher frequency → greater energy.
