Question

What do we measure on a transverse wave, examples are water waves, sound waves, earthquakes, to determine how much energy the wave has

Answer 1

Amplitude

Step-by-step explanation:

Transverse waves such as water waves, sound waves and earthquakes usually contain a large amount of energy which is determined by the amplitude.

The amplitude is known as the maximum displacement and its measured in meters. We should also note that the energy of a wave doesn’t affect the wavelength, frequency or speed but only the amplitude.
