1. STANDING WAVE LAB
Using a Slinky© and your rolled up wave paper from the last lab make 3 standing waves by varying the number of nodes/loops. Take a picture of each to include with your report.
Standing waves come in three varieties based on the number of closed ends it has; 0, 1, or 2. You can further confirm the type of standing wave by the relation between the length of the constrained medium, the number of nodes, and the number of loops (refer to your notes).
Your report:
Create a section for each wave you make.
Each section will include a picture of the wave.
Each section will identify the wave in the picture based on the number of nodes and loops seen in the picture.
Each section will include mathematical verification of the relationship between the constrained medium length and the wavelength for that wave.
