Wave energy decreases as the wave moves closer to shore.
Wave energy decreases as the wave moves closer to shore.

Wave energy increases with frequency and decreases with wavelength.
Wave energy increases with frequency and decreases with wavelength.

The greater the wavelength, the more kinetic energy the wave has.
The greater the wavelength, the more kinetic energy the wave has.

Wave energy is directly proportional to the amplitude of the wave.

Answer 1

The correct response is:

Wave energy is directly proportional to the amplitude of the wave.

In ocean waves, the energy carried by the wave is related to its amplitude (the height of the wave), meaning that as the amplitude increases, the energy of the wave also increases.
