Activity 1: Let’s Make Waves!

Procedure
A. What are transverse waves?
1. Straighten the rope and place it above a long table. Hold one end of the rope and vibrate it up and down. You would
be able to observe a pulse. Draw three sketches of the rope showing the motion of the pulse at three subsequent
instances (snapshots at three different times). Draw an arrow to represent the direction of the pulse’s motion.

You will now tag a specific part of the rope while making a series of pulses. A periodic wave can be regarded as a series
of pulses. One pulse follows another in regular succession.
Figure 1. Periodic wave

Tie one end of the rope on a rigid and fixed object (e.g heavy table, door knob, etc).

Figure 2. Rope tied to a rigid object

Attach a colored ribbon on one part of the rope. You may use adhesive tape to fix the ribbon. Make a wave by
continuously vibrating the end of the rope with quick up-and-down movements of your hand. Draw the waveform
or the shape of the wave that you have created.

Ask a friend to vibrate the rope while you observe the motion of the colored ribbon. Remember that the colored
ribbon serves as a marker of a chosen segment of the rope.

Guide Questions:

1. What is the source of the wave pulse?

2. Describe the motion of your hand as you create the pulse.
3. Describe the motion of the pulse with respect to the source.
4. Does the wave transport the colored ribbon from its original position to the end of the rope?
5. Describe the vibration of the colored ribbon. How does it move as waves pass by? Does it move as the same
direction as the wave?
6. Compare the direction of the wave’s motion to the direction of the motion of the particles.
7. What is this type of wave?

Procedure
B. What are longitudinal waves?
1. Connect one end of a long table to a wall. Place coil spring on top of table. Attach one end of the coil spring to the
wall while you hold the other end.

Figure 3. Coil spring on a flat table with one end attached to a wall
Do not lift the coil spring. Ask a friend to vibrate the end of the coil spring by doing a back-and-forth motion parallel to the
length of the spring. Observe the waves along the coil spring. Draw how the coil spring looks like as you move it
back-and-forth.

2. Attach a colored ribbon on one part of the coil spring. You may use an adhesive tape to fix the ribbon. Ask a friend to
vibrate the coil spring back-and-forth while you observe the motion of the colored ribbon. Remember that the
colored ribbon serves as a marker of a chosen segment of the coil spring.

Guide Questions:

1. What are longitudinal wave?

2. Does the wave transport the colored ribbon from its original position to the end of the rope?

3. Describe the direction of the colored ribbon. How does it move as waves pass by?

4. Compare the direction of the wave’s motion to the direction of the motion of the particles.

5. What is this type of wave?

6. In both cases for Setup A and B what is being transferred by the wave from one point to another, particles or energy?
What do you call the materials where waves pass through?

7. Differentiate transverse wave from longitudinal wave.

Procedure
Activity 1: Lets Make Waves

Procedure
C. What are surface waves?
1. Place a basin filled with water on top of a level table. Wait until the water becomes still or motionless. Create a wave
pulse by tapping the surface of the water with your index finger and observe the direction of travel of the wave pulse.
Tap the surface of the water at regular intervals to create periodic waves. View the waves from above and draw the
pattern that you see. In your drawing, mark the source of the disturbance.

2. Wait for the water to become still before you place your paper boat on the surface. Create periodic waves and
observe what happens to your paper boat.
3. If you were somehow able to mark individual water molecules (you used a colored ribbon to do this earlier) and follow
them as waves pass by, you would find that their paths are like those shown in the figure below.

Guide Questions:

1. The waves set the paper boat into motion? What is required to set an object into motion?
2. If you exert more energy in creating periodic waves by tapping the surface with greater strength, how does this
affect the movement of the paper boat.

3. As shown in the figure above, the passage of the wave across a surface of a body of water involves the motion
of the particles. What pattern is produced by the motion of particles?
4. Does the wave transport water molecules from the source of the vibration? Support your answer using the
shown figure.
5. Describe surface wave? How is it produced? What type of wave is surface wave: transverse, longitudinal or
combination of the two? Explain your answer.
