Waves…

I think you just need to have fun with this. I have tried to set up a standing wave and have failed. This would pulse up and down constantly without collapsing. I can get a standing wave but then it collapses before starting again. Explore ideas about wavelength and amplitude. If you have any questions, leave them in the comments section.

If you can provide settings that will produce a consistent standing wave post them in the comments below so that we can test them.

Questions…

1. What property of a sound wave affects the sound’s pitch?
2. With what unit is frequency measured?
3. What property of visible light changes when the frequency is altered?
4. What property of a sound wave is governed by the amplitude if the wave?
5. What property of light is affected by the amplitude of the wave?
6. Name a form of electromagnetic radiation with a shorter wavelength than visible light.
7. Name a form of electromagnetic radiation with a lower frequency than visible light.
