Waves, Energy, and Amplitude

h7ps://phet.colorado.edu/en/simula=on/wave-interference
How does increasing the amplitude effect the height,
distance between, and speed of the waves you
observed?

Why do you think this is happening? What is your
hypothesis?

Do you think that amplitude is related to energy? Why
or why not?
NGSS Addressed
•  4-PS4-1. Develop a model of waves to describe pa3erns in terms of
amplitude and wavelength and that waves cause objects to move.

•  4-PS3-2. Make observa<ons to provide evidence that energy can be


transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric
currents.
