Which statement describes the energy that a longitudinal wave carries as its amplitude decreases?
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.
In a longitudinal wave, the energy moves in the same direction as the motion of the wave (parallel). The greater the amplitude, the greater the energy. Therefore, the answer is: It decreases and is parallel to the motion of the wave.
