Waves Lab

In this lab activity, students will experiment with Slinky springs to investigate various types of waves and their properties. The procedure involves defining waves and vibrations, describing the distinct wave types produced, and summarizing observations with clear conclusions. Students will document their findings through detailed descriptions and labeled drawings while analyzing wave parameters such as amplitude, wavelength, period, and frequency. This 10-minute experiment encourages hands-on learning and a deeper understanding of wave dynamics.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Waves Lab aka Slinky Lab

  2. Purpose • Experiment with Slinky springs to determine what kinds of waves can move along them.

  3. Procedure • First, DEFINE – Wave & Vibration. • Second, DESCRIBE different, distinct, types of waves produced with the spring. • Third, WRITE – a brief summary, in paragraph-form, of your Observations and your Conclusions. Be sure these are distinct & separate sections. • Fourth, Include at least 2 (TWO), MORE preferred, DRAWings with completely labeled.

  4. Observations • Describe motions in detail – in words (& numbers) and with drawings. Define all wave parameters. Conclusions • Describe, using words (& numbers) particular to Physics, what you have seen; amplitudes, wavelengths, periods, frequencies, etc.

  5. Miscellaneous • You have 10 minutes, either in the classroom or in the hallway (with minimal noise.) • GO, DO, Have Fun, & TURN IN.

  6. The End
