Wave creation

On a long white piece of paper, create 2 waves with a pencil and a ruler. One with a high frequency, one with a low frequency. Measure the wavelength and amplitude of each wave and record it in cm, using a ruler. Put the paper in a vertical position

    On your two waves, label and measure its:

•Crest

•Trough

•Wavelength (with its measurement)

•Amplitude (with its measurement)

•Frequency (measure the # of crests)

Then record this information under your drawings too. In addition, answer these questions:

      2) Describe what type of waves you drew.

      3) As the frequency of a wave increases, it’s wavelength _______________. 

      4) Where do you find these types of waves in real-life? Give 3 examples. 

Here is an example of what it looks like:
