Blog Post 3: Waves

Simulations

Questions:

1. which takes more energy, slow up and down, or fast up and down?

Fast up and down uses more energy/calories

2. fast frequency corresponds to low energy or high energy?

High energy

3. Determine the frequency of the provided wave(frequency 27, amplitude 50)in Hz?

1.2 Hz        (:83 sec/cycle )

4. Determine the frequency of the provided wave(frequency 100, amplitude 50) in Hz?

1.8 Hz        (:55 sec/cycle)

5. Determine the frequency of the provided wave(frequency 27and amplitude 100) in Hz.

1.25 Hz       (:80 sec/cycle)

6. What is the wavelength of the provided wave(frequency 27, amplitude 50)in cm?

50 cm

7. What is the wavelength of the provided wave(frequency 100, amplitude 50)in cm?
33cm

8. Describe the relationships between energy, frequency and wavelength. Include descriptions for relationships of all three.
Frequency, not amplitude, determines energy.     (Energy and Amplitude are not related.)

Energy is directly proportional to frequency. 

Energy inversely proportional to wavelength.

 (More energy/frequency= shorter wavelength. 

   lower energy/frequency= longer wavelength)
