Question

What is the relationship between the ocean wave and the energy of that wave?

Answer 1

Wave is energy directly proportional to the amplitude of the wave. Waves are most commonly caused by wind. As wind blows across the surface of the ocean or a lake, the continual disturbance creates a wave crest.

Answer 2

The amount of energy in a wave depends on its height and wavelength as well as the distance over which it breaks. Given equal wavelengths, a wave with greater amplitude will release more energy when it falls back to sea level than a wave of lesser amplitude.
