| Title | Waves on a String Discovery Activity |
| Simulations | Gelombang Pada Tali |
| Keywords | Algebra, Equations |
| Description | Students make observations of: (1)the differences between pulses reflected off of free and fixed end and (2)the effect of tension on wave pulses. Students then compare and constrast the properties of each. For a continuous stream of pulses, students conduct an experiment to determine the relationships between: (1) frequency and wavelength, (2) frequency and wavespeed, (3) tension and wavespeed, (4) amplitude and wave speed. |
