Problem

Three sound waves propagate through the same medium: • Wave 1: frequency 300 Hz, amplitude 0.60 Pa • Wave 2: frequency 600 Hz, amplitude 0.30 Pa • Wave 3: frequency 150 Hz, amplitude 0.90 Pa (1) Rank the waves from greatest to least energy transmitted per oscillation. (2) Rank the waves from greatest to least amplitude. (3) State whether the wave with the largest amplitude always carries the most energy and justify your answer in one sentence.
