Learning Goal 5.2: I understand how energy is transformed within a system of particles, such as coupled oscillators, to form a wave.
This past week we simulated wave motions and specifically transverse waves. We began by finding the speed of the wave through measuring how long it took for the wave to travel form one end of the machine to the other once. We then repeated that but tried it with a higher frequency, a lower frequency, and a change in amplitude. We found frequency and wavelength are inversely related. I've come to understand this over multiple class activities. The concept I still have some confusion about is amplitude.
