TI_WaveEquation



=Introduction= We know now that as the frequency of a wave increases, its wavelength decreases. We would like to have a mathematical relationship to use, so that we are not constantly relying on measurements. The equation that links wavelength and frequency is known as the "wave speed equation". =Activity= The GoogleDoc linked to the icon below gives instructions for collecting the data that will be used to create the equation. =Assessment=

Basic Competency
A full range of accurate measurements of wavelength are produced. The data are presented to produce a linear relationship.

Full Competency
The data is analyzed in a few paragraphs, according to the standards established at the beginning of the year.
