So, I’m assuming that we’re treating light as a propagating wave.


Amplitude measures the amount of energy transported by a wave, thus amplitude squared is directly proportional to the light’s energy. The higher the amplitude, the higher the energy.


Energy is also directly proportional to the frequency of a wave, the higher the frequency, the higher the energy.

I took my second answer from the formula below:

E=cf
