A wave in the ocean has amplitude of 3m. winds pick up suddenly increasing the wave's amplitude to 6m. how does this change in amplitude affect the wave's frequency and the amount of energy it transpo?

The increase in amplitude does not affect the wave's frequency, which is determined by the wave source. However, the energy transported by the wave is proportional to the square of the amplitude, so increasing the amplitude from 3m to 6m quadruples the energy transported by the wave.
