Which statement correctly describes the relationship between the energy of a wave and the wave’s amplitude? High energy waves have high amplitudes. Low energy waves have high amplitudes. High and low energy waves have the same amplitudes.

Explanation :

The energy of a wave is given by:


E=(hc)/(\lambda)

Where,

h is the planck's constant

c is the speed of light


\lambda is the wavlength

One more factor on which the energy of the wave depends is the amplitude of the wave.

The maximum displacement of the particle is called the amplitude of the wave.

The particles transports energy from one location to another.

Hence, the correct option is (a) " High energy waves have high amplitudes".
