Needing help on this assignment. In a time crunch and it seems very in depth. Any and all help is appreciated!

Objectives: . To examine basic properties of waves 2 Toexplore wave interference and standing wave phemomena. Part 1: Water Wave Simulation Everybody has at some time thrown a pebble into a poddle and observed the ripples spreading across the surface. Most people have gone to the beach and watched waves crash onto the shore and into barriers. In Part I of this lab, you will simulate this phenomenon and examine several basic characteristics of waves, including wavelength, frequency, period, and wavespeed. Procedure: 1. Open the following web page: and click on the buton to start. 2 Move the frequency marker and amplitude marker to the center of their scales. 3. Click on "Show Grap. This shows a side view of the ripples leaving the disturbance 4 Click on the measuring tape box. The placement of the two red are used to measure 5. Click on "Add Detector". This gives you the ability to determine the mber of waves &. Drag the "Measuring Tape", and the "Detector" to the white area out of the water caused by the drop of water the wavelength passing in a second (. Click Pause, move the marker om"ROTATE VIEW to SIDE. Using the measuring tape, Place the red X under Pbeton top of a crest first, then move the other tX to the top of the next crest. The cetimctes asbegreenhaxis the wavelength. Record the distance in centimeters () in the folowing data table. Move the marker on "ROTATE VIEW back to TOP" . Click Piay. Use the Detector to determine the number of complete waves that occur each second. (HINT: Each block in the Detector is one second.) Record the number of waves per second (cycles per second) or Hertz (Hz) (f) in the data table 9. Using the frequency and wavelemgh data that you have collected, calculate the velocity.

Move the-frequency" marker to the left at about 1 quarter of the total scale, and repeat the previous steps to measure the wavespeed 11. Move the "frequency" marker to the far right, and repezt the previous steps to measure the wavespeed

Explanation / Answer

Look, it seems to be a so long assignment, but I assure you that it can facilitate the work in the experimentation and optimize the time if you follow these tips:

1) Make sure you understand perfecty the basic concepts about the waves: wavelength, wavespeed, frecuency, tipes of frecuencies and the period. Keeping these concepts in your mind during the experimentation could help you a lot, 80% of your results depends of you, the other percent its about how is your work in the simulations.

2) Read a lot about reflection, and how works the waves when they crash agains something. Ask your self: what is a collision? and how is a wave collision? How the waves interact with each others?. Remains the word COLLISION.

3) If you read a word you think is important, dont doubt to know what it is, in this experiment in particular its about to know the basic concept and has a little of physical intuition.

I hope that help you, If you need something more please leave a comment below. Regards and enjoy the experiment.
