Goal 1 - Wave Properties
Wave Properties Computer Lab Activity (These activities must be done before any labs are done).
1. Click this link. Answer each question on the form. When completed hit the submit button at the bottom of the page.
Activity #1
Click on the website below. Play with the different ways to make waves. Use all the different tools and determine how they affect the wave. (damping, pulse width, amplitude, manual, oscillate, etc. Write a paragraph (minimum of 5 sentences) about the activity.

1. Copy into notebook: "Wave--rhythmic disturbance that carries energy but not matter" Write a paragraph (minimum of 5 sentences) about the clip.
Activity 6 Wave Properties.
- Click on the crests& troughs picture and define crest and trough.
- Go to the frequency animation, and play around with it.
- Use what you see to write your own definition of frequency.
- Go to the amplitude and wavelength animation, and play around with it.
- Use what you see to write your own definition of amplitude.
- Use what you see to write your own definition of wavelength.
Activity 7 Types of Waves
- There are 2 main types of waves: transverse, and compressional (a.k.a. longitudinal). Go to the wave motion page, and watch the animations of compressional and transverse waves.Using a complete sentence, list one thing that is similar between compressional (a.k.a. longitudinal) and transverse waves.
- Using a complete sentence, list one difference between compressional (a.k.a. longitudinal) and transverse waves.
- Go to the red dot page, and use it to answer # 8 and #10. Notice that you can click between transverse and longitudinal.
Activity 8 Earthquakes
Go the the earthquake wave website, and play the animations.
- Answer in a complete sentence: What type of wave is a P-wave (transverse or compressional)?
- Answer in a complete sentence: What type of wave is an S-wave (transverse or compressional)?
