New cards

set up

ripple tank with water vibrating rod attached to powepack lamp above paper beneath

2
New cards

what does the rod and lamp do

the rod creates waves across the waters surface and the lamp helps reflect it onto paper

3
New cards

measuring wavelength

playback on phone measure 10 first lines and divide by 10 to get one wavelength

4
New cards

measuring frequency

measure amount of waves passing a point in ten seconds and then divide 10 to get one

5
New cards

use equation

v= fxwavelength

6
New cards

alternate method

time taken for one wave whole tank distance speed =distance/time
