Experiment 9: Wave Motion

1. The document describes an experiment on wave motion using an online simulation. It includes instructions to adjust the amplitude and frequency in the simulation and measure the corresponding wavelength. 2. Two tables of data are presented measuring wavelength, period, and velocity at different amplitudes and frequencies. Period and velocity are calculated from the given values of frequency and wavelength. 3. Questions at the end assess the relationships between various wave properties and ask the student to calculate wave velocity in two additional problems using the provided formulas.
