This is an inquiry-based activity developed for use with the Physics Education Technology "Wave on a String" simulation. Students conduct an experiment to determine the relationships between: 1) frequency and wavelength, 2) frequency and wave speed, 3) tension and wave speed, and 4) amplitude and wave speed. Appropriate for 9th grade physical science or algebra-based high school physics.
Note: The "Wave On A String" simulation must be open in a browser as students perform this activity. See Related Materials for a link to the simulation.
