Equation for the Time period of a wave.
T= 1/Frequency
1 of 5
Equation for Wave Speed.
Wave Speed(m/s)= Frequency(Hz)/Wavelength(M)
2 of 5
Equation for Speed of Sound.
Speed= Distance/Time
3 of 5
Practical for measuring waves in a ripple tank.
Place a wooden rod onto a motor in a raised transparent platform with shallow water in it. Use a lamp to light it and measure the length of the waves divided by the number of waves to find wavelength.
4 of 5
Practical for Sound waves through a solid/
Place two microphones either side of a suspended metal bar. Hit one end and use a datalogger to find the time for the sound to travel between the mics. Divide the distance of the rod by that time to find the speed of sound.
