Three BIG Ideas With Waves: Fill in The Table Below

The document discusses three waves labeled A, B, and C and asks students to fill in a table with data about each wave's wavelength, amplitude, frequency, period, and velocity. It then asks students questions about how the frequency, period, wavelength, and velocity are related for each wave. The purpose is to teach students three big ideas about how these wave properties are interrelated and how energy and speed can be related for a wave.

Even 2ore 'uestions( 5. Which wave has the most energy- ("int( thin6 li6e a sur*er) 7. Which wave the *astest velocity-

BIG Idea #3 1sing your answers to !uestions 5+78 are the speed o* the wave and the amount o* energy it carries related to each other- E9plain your answer.

Which wave loo6s li6e it has the most energyWhich wave loo6s li6e it travels the *astestWhich wave has the highest *re!uencyWhich wave has the longest periodWhich wave has the shortest wavelengthWhere is the rest position and what does it represent-

AFTER they are inished( What mista6e did we ma6e in the beginning saying that wave A would travel the *astestWhat two things in*luence the speed o* a wave"ow are wavelength and period related"ow could you change wave C to ma6e it have more energy- /raw dashed lines on the e9isting wave to show this. /o you have to change the wavelength o* a wave to get it to have more energy-

BE CA:E 1> not to compare velocity with wavelength or *re!uency. This will con*use students later when we tal6 about the <1:T" big idea in that the only way to change the speed o* a wave is to change the medium that is it is going through, ..E. re*raction.
