What should you be able to describe by the end of this video, according to the introduction?
How to measure
wavelength
,
frequency
, and
wave speed
View source
This video is part of which practical?
Waves
View source
What was measured in the last video?
Features of
water waves
in a
ripple tank
View source
What is being measured in this video?
Features of waves
in a
solid
View source
What apparatus is used to measure waves in a solid?
A string with a
vibration
generator
View source
What keeps the string taut in the setup?
A hanging
mass
View source
What does the signal generator allow you to change?
The
frequency of vibration
View source
What is the vibration generator attached to?
A
signal generator
View source
What is the wave formed at a certain frequency called?
A
standing wave
View source
What effect causes a standing wave?
Resonance
View source
Where are standing waves found?
Stringed
musical instruments
View source
What is used to measure the length of the standing wave?
A
ruler
View source
What points are used to measure the total length of the standing wave?
Wooden bridge
to the vibration generator
View source
What equation is used to calculate the speed of the wave?
Wave speed =
frequency
x
wavelength
View source
If the frequency is 10 Hz and the wavelength is 0.215 meters, what is the wave speed?
2.15
meters per second
View source
When there are three half wavelengths, what must you do to calculate the wavelength?
Divide
total length by 3, then
multiply
by 2
View source
If the total length is 0.215 meters and there are three half wavelengths, what is the wavelength?
0.143
meters
View source
If the wavelength is 0.143 meters and the frequency is 15 Hz, what is the wave speed?
2.15
meters per second
View source
What two properties does the wave speed of the string depend on?
Tautness
and
mass per centimeter
View source
How do you calculate the wavelength from a standing wave diagram?
Divide total length by
half wavelengths
, then multiply by 2
View source
Where can you find plenty of questions on this required practical?
Revision workbook
View source
According to the video, where is the link to the revision workbook?
Above
View source
What part of a required practical is this video?
Part two
View source
What is the purpose of the hanging mass in the experiment?
To keep the
string
taut
View source
Under what condition does a standing wave appear in this experiment?
At
certain frequencies
