Properties of Waves: Wavelength and Frequency

 

How are the frequency and wavelength of a wave related to each other?

 

Experiment with the following simulation to determine the relationship between the wave characteristics of frequency and wavelength. Use the slider to change the amplitude and wavelength, and notice what happens to the waves produced. Use the checkboxes to pause the wave and draw a graph to illustrate the mathematical relationship that exists between these wave characteristics.

  s(x,t)=A sin(kx -ω t)

 

 

Use the above simulation to answer the following questions?
