Waves On A String

The document discusses how changing different properties of a wave on a string simulation affects the wave. It describes how increasing the amplitude makes the wave taller, decreasing the amplitude makes the wave shorter, decreasing the tension slows the wave speed and increases the wavelength, and increasing the frequency increases the number of waves passing a point per second and decreases the wavelength if speed remains constant.

1. Set up the app

What do you see? ______________________________________________


_____________________________________________________________

2. Observe the wave. Then change the amplitude to 1.25 cm .


What about the wave has changed?_________________________________
_____________________________________________________________
3. Change the amplitude to 0.50 cm.
What about the wave has changed?_________________________________
_____________________________________________________________
4. Slide the amplitude back and forth. Observe the changes.
As amplitude increases _________________________________.
As amplitude decreases _________________________________.

5. Leave the amplitude at 1.25 cm. Observe the wave. Change the tension to
Low.

What about the wave has changed?_________________________________


_____________________________________________________________

6. Change the tension to medium. Observe the wave.


What about the wave has changed?_________________________________
_____________________________________________________________
7. Changing the tension of the wave changes its _________. (there are two
correct answers)
A. frequency
B. amplitude
C. wave speed
D. Wavelength
8. If speed increases and frequency remains constant, wavelength will
_________.
A. increase
B. decrease
9. Set tension on high. If you leave it on high, this means wave speed is
constant. Observe the wave. Change the frequency to 3.00 Hz. This means 3
cycles per second. In other words, 3 waves will pass a point in one second.
