Standing waves are a useful phenomenon to use to study waves. When a standing wave forms, it is easy to measure the wavelength because the wave appears motionless.
Now let's think about the experiment you will do. Today, you are going to look for a relationship between the frequency of a wave and the wavelength.
What variables do you need to keep constant during this experiment? (This question has more than one choice)
Select all that apply:
-
The cord
-
The hanging weight
-
Frequency

- Please download the following worksheets, which show 4 separate grids. Each grid has two different waves (e.g., Wave and Wave B). Your goal is to draw the resulting wave (i.e., Wave C) if the two waves would have been superposed on top of each other. To do this, you'll need to add the two amplitudes (height of the Wave A and Wave B on the y-axis) at a given point on the x-axis to get the resulting one. For example, using number 3 as an example: a. At point 0 on the x axis, Wave A has an amplitude of 0, and Wave B has an amplitude of 0, so Wave C at point 0 would be 0. b. At point 4 on the x axis, Wave A has an amplitude of 6, and Wave B has an amplitude of 4, so Wave C at point 3 would have an amplitude of 10. c. At point 8 on the x axis. Wave A has an amplitdue of 0, and Wave B has an amplitude of -4, so Wave C at point 8 would be -4. You do not have to find the points for every single point along the x-axis, but just enough to get the general shape of the resulting wave.
