Making Waves Lab

In class we made waves on the laptop and in real life.Making waves on the laptop made me understand better what happens with the waves when the frequency and the amplitude increases.When making waves on the laptop you could rotate the screen and see whats happening on the side which was really helpful and also something i couldn't do when i made it in reality.

We did all sorts of activities with waves.

First we did observations with crock.We had to make drops from the pipe in the middle,corner;with two pipes in the middle,corner,one end;with paper towels,one stick of clay in the center,clay in a different position,two stick of clay end to end,different position, and two and a half stick of clay.

Second, we did the same things but with cork.

The good thins about the reality lab we did is that you could see better from a birds eye view.You could see how almost every time the waves bounced back from the plastic.

When you have more amplitude the drop is heavier so it makes more waves.i thing when you have more frequency that the drop is a little lighter and it doesn't make really high waves but they last longer.
