Measuring Wavelengths & Wave Calculations

Description

This lesson is a great way for students to discover for themselves the formula of the speed of the wave.

In part 1, students draw transverse waves and then use a ruler to measure the wavelength, frequency and calculate the speed.
In part 2, students work through guided and independent practice problems for solving the equations for speed, wavelengths, frequency, and period. Instructions show students how to use the triangle method and how to manipulate the equation using algebra.

Use mathematical representations to support a claim regarding relationships among the frequency, wavelength, and speed of waves traveling in various media. Examples of data could include electromagnetic radiation traveling in a vacuum and glass, sound waves traveling through air and water, and seismic waves traveling through the earth. Assessment is limited to algebraic relationships and describing those relationships qualitatively.
