Note from the author:

This is an introduction to the properties of waves.

Use this diagram to identify parts of a wave in questions #1 - 4:

1

On the wave diagram, A is the...

1

On the wave diagram, B is the...

1

On the wave diagram, C is the...

1

On the wave diagram, D is the...

1

Use the waves diagrams shown above: Which of these waves has a greater wavelength?

2

Draw two waves. One with high amplitude and one with low amplitude. Label which is high amplitude vs low amplitude. (keep everything else about the waves the same)

2

Write down two research questions we can investigate about the patterns in waves:

1

Does amplitude affect wave speed?

1

Does amplitude affect the frequency of a wave?

1

Does amplitude affect the wavelength of a wave?

1

Does tension affect the wave speed of a wave?

2

Draw two waves. One with high frequency and one with low frequency. (keep everything else about the waves the same)

1

How does frequency seem to affect wavelength?

1

How does frequency seem to affect wave speed?

1

How does frequency seem to affect wave period?
