The Sun is the source of almost all the energy we use on Earth. Wind is caused by the Sun heating up the Earth, ie air above land heats up quickly, rises and is replaced by colder air from the sea, which makes a wind called a convection current. This makes the waves used in wave power.

Does hydroelectric power depend on the sun?

Indirectly, yes.You need the sun to evaporate water which falls as rain. That forms streams and then rivers. These are dammed and power generated by the forcing the water to drive turbines.

What is the equivalent wavelength of 1000 Hz?

That would also depend on the speed of the wave. Speed = wavelength x frequency.That would also depend on the speed of the wave. Speed = wavelength x frequency.That would also depend on the speed of the wave. Speed = wavelength x frequency.That would also depend on the speed of the wave. Speed = wavelength x frequency.


What are other renewable sources of energy besides the sun?

yes, hydro (water) and wind energy are 2 examples
