Homework

C block

Finish HW from last class - definitions, etc. If you've done that, investigate the meaning of: harmonics, as they relate to waves on a string. We will begin a formal lab on Monday.

E block

You began a lab last class. Prepare a data table for formal collection. It's should contain the following variables: string length, harmonic number, wavelength, frequency, speed.

Also - now that you know A little about the experiment, write a short hypothesis related to this question: what relationship exists between frequency, wavelength, distance, harmonic number and wave speed? If you cannot suggest a relationship for all the variables (and that's totally understandable), suggest some kind of expected result. Your formal lab will begin with that hypothesis.

Thanks!
