text: The energy of a wave is directly proportional to its frequency but inversely proportional to its wavelength.
text: In quantum theory (see first quantization) the energy of the photons is thus directly proportional to the frequency of the EMR wave.
text: A few years later spectral lines could be understood in quantum theory as differences between energy levels, energy being proportional to wavenumber, or frequency.
text: So that indicates to us that energy should be proportional to the square of the amplitude of a wave.
text: Just as the total energy in an oscillating spring is proportional to the square of the amplitude of the oscillation, the energy in a sound wave is proportional to the square of the amplitude of the pressure difference.

text: Generally, the energy of a mechanical wave is proportional to the square of the wave's amplitude; i.e., if a wave's amplitude triples, its energy content will become 9-times greater.
