Question

1. return the amplitude to 0.75 cm. then, spend a few minutes exploring the frequency of the wave by increasing and/or decreasing it. describe frequency in your own words. 9. explore how frequency affects wavelength. use the following settings and measure the approximate wavelength. pause the simulation after a few waves pass and use the ruler.

Explanation:

Frequency is the number of wave cycles that pass a fixed point per unit of time. As frequency increases, wavelength decreases (since the product of frequency and wavelength is the wave - speed which is constant in a given medium), and vice - versa.

Answer:

Frequency is the number of wave cycles per unit time. An increase in frequency causes a decrease in wavelength and a decrease in frequency causes an increase in wavelength.
