Pass out the other jump ropes to small groups or pairs and have students make their own
B. Engage waves. They can experiment with making shorter and longer waves.
Why is this lesson
interesting? How does the length of the wave change the speed of the wave?
Give the activity sheets and let the students answer it by group.
C. Explore
What can they find out?
D. Explain
Why? (Teacher’s input to Students will present their output.
formalize concept)
E. Elaborate What is wave speed? Wavelength and frequency?
How can they apply this?
What is the formula?
2. Mac and Tosh stand 8 meters apart and demonstrate the motion of a transverse wave
on a snakey. The wave e can be described as having a vertical distance of 32 cm from a
trough to a crest, a frequency of 2.4 Hz, and a horizontal distance of 48 cm from a crest
to the nearest trough. Determine the amplitude, period, and wavelength and speed of
such a wave.See Answe
3. Dawn and Aram have stretched a slinky between them and begin experimenting with
waves. As the frequency of the waves is doubled,
a. the wavelength is halved and the speed remains constant
b. the wavelength remains constant and the speed is doubled
c. both the wavelength and the speed are halved.
d. both the wavelength and the speed remain constant.
F. Extend 4. A ruby-throated hummingbird beats its wings at a rate of about 70 wing beats per
Expand / Follow-up second.
question. a. What is the frequency in Hertz of the sound wave?
b. Assuming the sound wave moves with a velocity of 350 m/s, what is the wavelength
of the wave?
5. Ocean waves are observed to travel along the water surface during a developing
storm. A Coast Guard weather station observes that there is a vertical distance from
high point to low point of 4.6 meters and a horizontal distance of 8.6 meters between
adjacent crests. The waves splash into the station once every 6.2 seconds. Determine the
frequency and the speed of these waves.
6. Two boats are anchored 4 meters apart.
They bob up and down, returning to the
same up position every 3 seconds. When
one is up the other is down. There are
never any wave crests between the boats.
Calculate the speed of the waves.
