This is the standing waves + harmonics lab that finally makes wave equations feel real. Students create clear standing wave patterns, identify nodes and antinodes, calculate wavelength for each harmonic (λ = 2L/n), verify that harmonic frequencies are integer multiples of the fundamental (fₙ = n·f₁), and show that wave speed stays constant across harmonics (v = fλ).Then the lab goes one step deeper (and more AP Physics-ready): students vary tension, calculate v = √(T/μ), graph v vs √T, and use t
