Two students are producing waves on a long spring they are moving up and down. The students make the two following wave patterns with the spring. (DOK 2) How do the two wave patterns compare in terms of energy?

Question 5 options:

A. Pattern #1 has more energy because it has a larger amplitude.

B. The two patterns have the same energy because they have the same amplitude.

C. Pattern #1 has more energy because it has a higher frequency.

D. The two patterns have the same energy because they have the same frequency.
