A student looks at ocean waves coming into the beach. An ocean wave with more energy will A) have a greater height. B) have a greater period. C) travel toward the beach faster. D) strike the beach with greater frequency.

Respuesta :

It would be A: Have a greater height.


The higher the wave the higher the energy!

Answer:

An ocean wave with more energy will have a greater height

Explanation:

A student looks at ocean waves coming into the beach. The energy of wave depends on the amplitude of wave. Amplitude of a wave is the distance from equilibrium position to the crest or trough of the wave.

So, an ocean wave with more energy will have a greater height. The height of wave is equal to twice the amplitude of wave. Hence, the correct option is (A).
