Design a Wave On your paper, draw a straight line across the middle Draw a transverse wave on the line that you just drew
Design a Wave Label each of the following things on your wave: Crest Trough Amplitude Wavelength Frequency
Design a Wave Using a ruler measure the following parts of your wave IN CENTIMETERS 1. Amplitude: ________cm 2. Wavelength: _______cm Determine the frequency in Hertz (Hz) of your wave (count the number of waves on the pg)
Design-A-Wave Reflection Answer the following questions in COMPLETE SENTENCES on the back of your paper. Look at a wave belonging to someone at your table. What is their FREQUENCY? How does it compare to yours? Ex: “Alex had a frequency of 5 Hertz. This is Higher than my frequency.” Of the two frequencies, which one contains the most energy?
Design-A-Wave Reflection Look at a wave belonging to someone at your table. What is their WAVELENGTH? How does it compare to yours? Ex: “Julia had a wavelength of 13cm. This is smaller than my wavelength.” Of the two wavelengths, which one has the MOST ENERGY?
