Progress Laboratory

This lab is to follow up on students understanding of transverse and longitudial waves. Studnets should have learned that all waves have certain properties that make them different. In this activity students will create two different types of waves and determine the rate at which each wave moves, otherwise known as wave speed. Studnets will conduct and calculate the average time and speed after cunducting 5 trials for tranverse waves and 5 trials for longitudinal waves. Once all data is collec
