Consider any ocean wave, what is the relationship between an ocean wave and the energy of that wave?
A) Wave energy decreases as the wave moves closer to the shore
B) The greater the wavelength, the more kinetic energy the wave has
C) Wave energy is directly proportional to the amplitude of the wave
D) Wave energy increases with frequency and decreases with wavelength
Wave energy is directly proportional to the amplitude of the wave. It is a square function.. double the amplitude (wind/solar power picks up) the energy in the ocean wave is quadrupled.
