What happens to a waves energy when amplitude is doubled? Halved? Tripled?

Answer:

This means that a doubling of the amplitude of a wave is indicative of a quadrupling of the energy transported by the wave. A tripling of the amplitude of a wave is indicative of a nine-fold increase in the amount of energy transported by the wave. So when doubling, you are quadrupling, tripling, you are 9x it, and for halve, it cuts in half.
