Velocity of a Wave
by Cassandra Cordts
In this engaging lesson, students will model a standing transverse wave using a slinky and collect measurements to find the amplitude, wavelength, and frequency of their wave in order to calculate the velocity. Students get hands-on experience to attach to abstract concepts and practice problems that they can compare to their own measurements.
