Characteristics of Waves: Part 2

The energy of a wave is directly related to its amplitude and its frequency. Geared toward middle school learners, this worksheet helps students explore the relationship between a wave’s energy, amplitude, and frequency. Given different pairs of waves, students will use what they know about waves to help them determine which wave in each pair has more energy. Learners will also have a chance to apply their knowledge to analyze sound waves in a critical thinking question. This worksheet makes a great follow-up to the Characteristics of Waves: Part 1 worksheet.
