rp8: ripple tank

Cards (2)

    1. record waves on a phone
    2. wavelength: using the ruler measure the distance between 1 wave & 10 waves further & divide this by 10
    3. frequency: place a timer next to the paper & count the number of waves passing a point in 10 seconds & divide by 10
    4. wavespeed = frequency x wavelength
    5. or wavespeed: select a wave & measure the time it takes to move the length of the tank, speed = distance / time
  • what is frequency?
    number of oscillations/waves per second
