As mentioned earlier, a wave is an energy transport phenomenon which transports energy along a medium without transporting matter. A pulse or a wave is introduced 4aves into a slin+y when a person holds the &irst coil and gives it a *ac+7and7&orth motion. and #his creates a distur*ance within the medium8 this distur*ance su*sequently travels waveli+e &rom coil to coil, transporting energy as it moves. #he energy is imparted to the otion medium *y the person as he9she does wor+ upon the &irst coil to give it +inetic energy. #his energy is trans&erred &rom coil to coil until it arrives at the end o& the 4hat is slin+y. I& you were holding the opposite end o& the slin+y, then you would &eel the a 4ave1 energy as it reaches your end. In &act, a high energy pulse would li+ely do some rather noticea*le wor+ upon your hand upon reaching the end o& the medium8 the last Categori coil o& the medium would displace you hand in the same direction o& motion o& the coil. For the same reasons, a high energy ocean wave can do considera*le damage to es o& the roc+s and piers along the shoreline when it crashes upon it. 4aves #he amount o& energy carried *y a wave is related to the amplitude o& the wave. A high energy wave is characteri:ed *y a high amplitude8 a low energy wave is characteri:ed *y a low amplitude. As discussed earlier in "esson (, the amplitude o& a wave re&ers to the ma0imum amount o& displacement o& a particle on the medium

Propert &rom its rest position. #he logic underlying the energy7amplitude relationship is as ies of a &ollows5 I& a slin+y is stretched out in a hori:ontal direction and a transverse pulse is introduced into the slin+y, the &irst coil is given an initial amount o& displacement. Wave

#he displacement is due to the &orce applied *y the person upon the coil to displace it a given amount &rom rest. #he more energy that the person puts into the pulse, the more wor+ which he9she will do upon the &irst coil. #he more wor+ which is done upon the &irst coil, the more displacement which is given to it. #he more displacement which is given to the &irst coil, the more amplitude which it will have. So in the end, the amplitude o& a transverse pulse is related to the energy which that pulse transports through the medium. !utting a lot o& energy into a transverse pulse will not e&&ect the wavelength, the &requency or the speed o& the pulse. #he energy imparted to a pulse will only e&&ect the amplitude o& that pulse.
Consider two identical slin+ies into which a pulse is introduced. I& the same amount o& energy is introduced into each slin+y, then each pulse will have the same amplitude. 3ut what i& the slin+ies are di&&erent1 4hat i& one is made o& :inc and the other is made o& copper1 4ill the amplitudes now *e the same or di&&erent1 I& a pulse is introduced into two di&&erent slin+ies *y imparting the same amount o& energy, then the amplitudes o& the pulses will not necessarily *e the same. In a situation such as this, the actual amplitude assumed *y the pulse is dependent upon two types o& Lesson &actors5 an inertial &actor and an elastic &actor. #wo di&&erent materials have di&&erent 3: mass densities. #he imparting o& energy to the &irst coil o& a slin+y is done *y the Behavio application o& a &orce to this coil. ore massive slin+ies have a greater inertia and thus tend to resist the &orce8 this increased resistance *y the greater mass tends to r of Waves cause a reduction in the amplitude o& the pulse. Di&&erent materials also have di&&ering degrees o& springiness or elasticity. A more elastic medium will tend to 3oundar o&&er less resistance to the &orce and allow a greater amplitude pulse to travel through it8 *eing less rigid ,and there&ore more elastic-, the same &orce causes a greater y 3ehavior amplitude. #he 4ave %quation .e&lecti on, .e&ractio n, and Di&&racti #he energy transported *y a wave is directly proportional to the square o& the amplitude o& the wave. #his energy7amplitude relationship is sometimes e0pressed in the &ollowing manner.

#his means that a dou*ling o& the amplitude o& a wave is indicative o& a quadrupling o& the energy transported *y the Inter&ere wave. A tripling o& the amplitude o& a wave is indicative o& a nine7&old increase in the amount o& energy transported *y the nce o& wave. And a quadrupling o& the amplitude o& a wave is 4aves indicative o& a =>7&old increase in the amount o& energy transported *y the wave. #he ta*le at the right &urther 4aves ;enerate e0presses this energy7amplitude relationship. )*serve that whenever the amplitude increased *y a given &actor, the energy d *y value is increased *y the same &actor squared.
