The correct answer is "higher." When it comes to waves, such as sound waves or light waves, the amplitude refers to the maximum displacement of the particles of the medium through which the wave is traveling. In simpler terms, it represents the height or intensity of the wave.
To understand why the energy of a wave increases with higher amplitude, we need to consider the properties of waves. The energy of a wave is directly proportional to its amplitude. This means that as the amplitude increases, so does the energy carried by the wave.
To verify this, you can perform experiments where you measure the amplitude and energy of different waves. By increasing the amplitude of a wave and observing the changes in energy, you will find that the energy also increases. This can be done by measuring the amplitude using instruments such as an oscilloscope and measuring the energy using appropriate detectors or meters.
In summary, the higher the amplitude of a wave, the higher the energy it carries. This relationship can be verified through experimentation and measuring the amplitude and energy of different waves.
