Click on Wave
Amplitude, Wavelength, Phase Shift
- What changes in the wave when you increase the
amplitude slider?
- What happens to the wave when you increase the
wavelength slider?
Click on the back button
Then Click on Wave
Frequency
- What happens to the wave when you increase the
frequency slider?
Click on the back button
Then click on Transverse Wave
Simulator
- Which way do the blue balls move?
- Which way does the wave move?
- What happens when increase the frequency?
- What happens when you decrease in the amplitude?
Click on the back button
Then click on Longitudinal Wave
Simulator
- Which way do the blue balls move?
- Which way does the wave move?
- What happens when increase the frequency?
- What happens when you increase in the amplitude?
- Draw a transverse wave in the space below
- Draw a transverse wave with twice the amplitude in
the space below
- Draw a transverse wave with twice the frequency in
the space below
- How are transverse and longitudinal waves different
from each other?
