The amount of energy transported by the wave is of 31.25 J.
Given data:
The amplitude of ocean wave is, A1 = 2.5 m.
The new amplitude of ocean wave is, A2 = 5.0 m.
We need to obtain the amount of energy transported by the wave. So the energy transported (E) of wave is directly proportional to the square of amplitude.
Then,
[tex]E \propto A^{2}[/tex]
So as per this concept, the total energy transport is given as,
[tex]E_{T} = A1^{2} +A2^{2}[/tex]
Solve by substituting the values as,
[tex]E_{T} = 2.5^{2} +5.0^{2}\\\\E_{T}= 31.25 \;\rm J[/tex]
Thus, we can conclude that the amount of energy transported by the wave is of 31.25 J.
