Homework Statement
Is the statement cirrect: "the rate at which a wave transfers energy depends on the amplitude at which the particles of the medium are vibrating."
And does the energy=A^2 ?
Homework Equations
E (proportional) A^2
The Attempt at a Solution
For the statement I am about confused, because I think that the rate mentioned refers to velocity of the wave and that's constant (in a given medium and temperature). I also believe that the higher the amplitude the more energy the wave will carry but how will that affect rate of energy transferred?
For the second question, I think that the equation should be E=(1/2)k*A^2
(Where A is max displacement or amplitude)
Thanks :)
