Which statement describes the energy that a transverse wave carries as its amplitude increases?
it increases and is perpendicular to the motion of the wave.
it decreases and is perpendicular to the motion of the wave.
it increases and is parallel to the motion of the wave.
it decreases and is parallel to the motion of the wave.

It increases and is perpendicular to the motion of the wave.

Explanation:

- A transverse wave is a wave in which the oscillation occurs in a direction perpendicular to the motion of the wave (example of transverse waves are electromagnetic waves)

- A longitudinal wave is a wave in which the oscillation occurs in a direction parallel to the motion of the wave (example of longitudinal waves are sound waves)

- The amplitude of a wave is defined as the maximum displacement of the wave relative to the equilibrium position, and the energy carried by the wave is proportional to the square of the amplitude:

Therefore, as the amplitude of the wave increases, the energy increases as well.

answer; (d) spontaneous processes are characterized by the overall conversion of order to disorder;

does anyone know or what?
