This is a printable student guide/worksheet created for middle school or 9th grade physical science level to accompany the PhET simulation Wave on a String. Students will explore how frequency, amplitude, wave speed, and string tension are related.
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.
This resource is part of a Physics Front Topical Unit.
Topic: Wave Energy
Unit Title: Wave Properties: Frequency, Amplitude, Period, Phase This printable student guide/worksheet was created by a middle school teacher specifically for use with the PhET "Wave on a String" simulation (see activity above). Students gather data to explore how frequency, amplitude, wave speed, and string tension are related. Link to Unit:
