    This document describes an experiment using the PhET Wave on a String simulator to investigate properties of waves on a string. [1] The experiment measures wavelength, speed, and the relationship between wavelength and frequency for waves on the string. [2] Speed is measured by timing how long it takes a wave to travel a set distance, with three trials giving an average speed of 3.81 cm/s. [3] Frequency is varied and the corresponding wavelengths measured, showing that higher frequencies produce shorter wavelengths. [4] The relationship between speed, wavelength, and frequency is the wave equation: Speed = Wavelength x Frequency.

    Configuración experimental

    1. Ajusta el experimento en "Oscillate" (cuadro verde en la esquina superior izquierda).


    2. Configúrelo en "No End" (cuadro verde en la esquina superior derecha).
    3. Establezca "Amplitude" en 1.0 cm (panel de control inferior).
    4. Establezca "Amortiguación" (Damping) en Ninguno (None) (panel de control inferior).
    5. Establezca "Tensión" en el ajuste medio (panel de control inferior).
    6. Active "Rules" y el "Timer" (panel de control inferior).

    Toma en cuenta que los botones "Slow Motion" y "Pause", te ayudarán para responder las
    siguientes preguntas (Puedes apoyarte de capturas de pantalla).

    1. What is a wavelength in this case? (You can rely on screenshots)


    The wavelength is defined as the distance between two successive points of a wave (crest) ,
    measured in the direction that wave travels.

    2. What is the speed of a wave? Measure the speed of the wave using the settings as they
    are. Pause the simulator, start the timer, set it to slow motion, unpause, and let the
    wave move a specified number of centimeters. Calculate the speed in cm/s. Measure the
    speed three times using different lengths and times and report those three values along
    with the average.

    3. Determine how wavelength and frequency are mathematically related. To do this,


    complete the following table. Make all measurements using the settings already provided.
    Apply changes to the frequency to see how it affects the wavelength. Give wavelength
    measurements to the nearest tenth of a centimeter. For very long wavelengths, measure a
    half wave and multiply by two.
    Frequency (Hz) Wavelength (cm)
    3 Hz 1.250 cm
    2 Hz 1.8 cm
    1.5 Hz 2.450 cm
    1 Hz 3.78cm
    0.5 Hz 7.2 cm
    4. With what you did in this experiment, can you consider a mathematical expression that
    relates frequency to speed? (you can research on the internet).

    𝜈 =ℷ∗𝑓
    𝜈 → 𝑆𝑝𝑒𝑒𝑑
    𝜆 → 𝑊𝑎𝑣𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑔𝑡ℎ
    𝑓 → Frequency
