Thursday 5/16 - Investigation: Rope Light Waves

Posljednje ažuriranje about 7 hours ago

Procedure

1. Tie the rope to the bottom end of leg of your chair.

2. Taking turns, one team member moves the rope side to side, creating waves along the rope.

3. Observe and record how the waves behave when you move the rope LARGE distances side to side.

4. Observe and record how the waves behave when you move the rope SMALL distances up and down.

5. Complete the discussion questions below.

Trial 1: Light Rope shaken LARGE distances side to side

Trial 2: Light Rope shaken SMALL distances side to side

Review

What happened when the rope’s waves reached the chair leg?

Explain your answer for Question 11.

Explain your answer for Question 13.

What happened when the rope’s waves reached the chair leg?

What happened to the amplitude (height) of the waves after it reached the other end? Why do you think the size changed?
