The correct option.
Answer to Problem 35R
The correct option is A.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Amplitude is the maximum extent of vibration from the equilibrium point.
The energy which is transmitted by a wave is directly proportional to the square of amplitude.
Wave energy is generated by the disturbance from the wave.
Mathematically it can be expressed as,
Here,
Frequency remains unchanged with change in amplitude and wave speed. so option A and C are incorrect.
Refraction is not related to amplitude hence option D is incorrect.
So it is clear that if amplitude of wave changes disturbance from the also changes.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the correct option is A.
