Which wave is carrying the most energy?

Answer : Wave 2

Explanation :

A disturbance created in a medium is termed as a wave. Energy is transported from one location to another.

A wave can be characterized by the following parameters i.e.

(1) The amplitude

(2) The Frequency

(3) The Wavelength etc.

The amplitude means the maximum displacement of the particles. It also shows the transportation of energy.

If the amplitude is higher, it shows the maximum energy carried by the wave.

And if the amplitude is smaller, it implies the less energy carried by the wave.

Wave 2 have maximum amplitude, the maximum energy is carried by it.

So, the correct option is (2)

initial speed when it is dropped is 150 ft/s

now at the same moment the acceleration due to gravity is perpendicular to its velocity

so as we know that

now we have centripetal acceleration a = 32 ft/s^2 as its perpendicular to velocity

while tangential acceleration at the same moment will be zero

so

now radius of curvature is given as

so the radius of curvature just after it is dropped is 703.125 ft
