Use the illustrations of transverse waves drawn below to
answer the following questions.
X
Y
Z
Wave X and Y have the same ___________________, but wave Y has
twice the ____________________ of Wave X. Wave Z has half the
_________________________ of X and Y. Wave Z has 5 times the
____________________ than Y. Finally, Wave ____ has the most energy
and Wave _____ has the least amount of energy. I know this because
Wave ____ has much more _________________ than Wave X and Y.
