Question

On doubling amplitude of the wave energy is increased ______times

Open in App

Solution

Energy depends on the intensity of the wave. Intensity is proportional to the square of the amplitude. If amplitude is increased to double then energy will be increased to 4 times because 4 is the square of 2
