Blog Post 5 (Wave Lab)

Blog Post 5

1. When I started at a lower amplitude it was about 3.54 cm. When i changed it to a higher amplitude it went down to about 2 cm.

2. When I started at a lower frequency it was about 4.4 cm. When i changed it to a higher frequency it went down to about 2.56 cm.

3. From what i can tell from the data that at a lower amplitude and a higher frequency that the wave length was smaller, while at a higher amplitude and lower frequency the wave length was larger.
4. Drop 1 wavelength: 1.53 cm
Drop 2 wavelength: 1.16 cm


First measurments done at the first point(x).
A=3.33 cm  B=3.19 cm  C=5.59 cm  D=5.62 cm  E=5.12 cm  F=7.77 cm

Second measurments are from point 2(y).
A=5.55cm  B=3.17 cm  C=3.32 cm  D= 7.82 cm  E=5.54 cm  F=5.51 cm

     Over all when one were to look at these numbers the first thing they would notice is how some of the numbers from the first point are close, if not the same, as the numbers that gotten on the second point (such as measurement A from point x and measurement C from point y. Because of this symmetry(as i like to call it) the wavelengths converge and eventually averages out on the distances between the 2 wavelengths.
